Infected with spyware? Malware?

I think that I was infected by spyware or something malicious (on my Windows XP desktop), my IE8 has began to show many windows pop up despite the blocker, the system is somewhat slowed down, and the browser redirects to unrelated web pages. I tried to clean it with Windows defender, IOBit Security 360 system restore, go to Firefox and nothing seems to help, any suggestions?

  • What is my MAC is infected with spyware or malware?

    Recently, I installed a network monitor (Little Snitch) on my MacBook Pro OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 race (15-inch, late 2008). I noticed a number of connections (to sites on the internet, including apple, google, mozilla, msn, etc.) by a "pandurated" program, located in the directory/Library/pandurated/happy/MacOS. Then, I checked the MAC activity monitor, which shows a process of "pandurated" with a user name "mijl". This "mijl" username is not saved on my Mac. Is my MAC infected with the malware / spyware?

    You can register here and ask. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac is a software developed by Thomas Reed, a collaborator of high level here for many years. In the past, there most likely would have found your question and responded to him directly, but he is now only looking at matter to ASC resulting from the use of this highly respected program (you should probably run - it works like a scanner after the global infection for Adware, malware and keyloggers, to see what he could come up with. It is completely safe and even recommended by Apple tech employees. It does no changes to the system and, should it find anything, gives you the choice of what to do next.) If you run it, or have any questions, there also a dedicated support forum.) He is quite knowledgeable and generally very useful.

  • fsmgroup called sayinhg that my computer has been infected with spyware

    I had been contacted by twice saying that you had advised the (supposedly legitimate third-party provider you?) to call me as my computer ID showed that I had been infected with spyware + report fsmgroup error warning. I carefully allowed them remote access where they have ran spyware inf and demonstrated on a 1000 Trojans.  I said several times that I wasn't going to buy anything and they said that they were not selling anything and that they were working on your behalf for me rid of bugs that will eventually lead to my PC to hang with a blue and black screen. However, the only way to solve the problem was to buy a plan. When I refused to purchase the plan, they started the files removed from my spyware in location, despite my asking them to stop - I turned off my computer to stop. I asked them why they did not respect my wishes and they couldn't answer. The person said it had deleted the wrong file and then hung up.  I caused damage to my computer. I can see no longer the same disks and I thought that it had removed the demand of c: Windows drive | INF.  There still a lot of files in this folder (more than 1000) which have been reproduced with an extention. PNF.  Are these files malicious indeed, if yes, what can I do? Also it damage by deleting anything in this area. I ran Malwarebytes and found no errors.

    I am very concerned. Please can you help.

  • I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.

    I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.

    They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.

    It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.

    I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.

    1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?

    2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?

    3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?

    1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.

    2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.

    3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.

  • Get notification that computer is infected with spyware

    * original title - I have this red on my computer saying that my computer is infected with spyware and asking me to subscribe how can I get rid of the message of the screen *.

    Its probably rogue software. Scan it with a virus scanner. Or get Malwarebytes.

    Update, then do a full scan. Whatever it is, tell him to remove it and restart your computer

  • Is there a risk to have a Web site, established in Muse and exported to a FTP server, infected with the malware any?

    Hi, a Web site, we have created only in Muse and uploaded to a server FTP was recently blocked by our filter citys due to possible malware/spyware infection. There is no external file any associated with the site, all about the FTP is generated by the Muse.

    We are working on Mac OSX 10.9.5 computers

    Version 2014.2 of the muse

    Nothing in the generated code of Muse will leave you open to something like that. Not hosted on a host of good reputation you will have no problems either. But if your host/server leaves somewhat open then of course all bets are off.

    But again, nothing new in the Muse that will open you to something like that, so if your server is solid, you are well.

  • does my mac infected with the malware 844-335

    My (OS X ElCapitan) MacAir is infected by malware? While on Safari, I clicked on a link and a video and audio message appeared immediately (looked like Apple logo) which says that my computer has been infected and immediately call 844-335-* to correct the problem. I wasn't able to close safari, or even do a normal shutdown. I did a shutdown of the system "hard" and it "seems" to be ok, but how can I be sure that the malware is not on my computer?

    It probably isn't, but you should always look for unexplained slow or strange behaviour.

  • If I am infected with malware?

    Hello!

    This is my first post in the forum, but I followed the discussions since I got my MacBook and the community is very useful.

    I decided to create this post to ask the experts of the view.

    I received a phone call from the network admin at my University saying that I (and a few other students) have been infected by trojan Zeus and he attacked the University network. I found very doubtful after doing a quick search on this Trojan horse and did not find any relationship of Zeus with OSX. Yet, it made me a bit paranoid so I keep changing my passwords and began to scan the system in order to find if there is some malware.

    One thing that is important to mention at this point, I sometimes use a machine virtual Windows 7 (Parallels Desktop) which is only used to interact with the instrumentation in the laboratory of the University. The virtual machine has a WiFi connection shared from OSX and to access the files, the folders shared. The virtual machine has only Microsoft Security Essentials 'antivirus' installed. And I don't remember installing any new software on the virtual Windows machine since the start of the alleged "attacks".

    So I unplugged my Mac from Internet, disabled sharing records of VM with OSX and began to analyze the Windows VM using different software and following the instructions on this website: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/zeus-trojan-virus/ , nothing has been detected.

    I proceeded to analyze OSX using MalwareBytes and even installed Kaspersky Internet Security to give it a try. Done a few scans and still nothing.

    I did a scan with EltreCheck and read the report. I've removed some of the plugins that I was not using more, since this installation of Mac OS x is always updated from Lion.

    This is the report of EltreCheck at the moment:

    I installed as well the "firewall" Radio Silence to analyze applications and connections. After Google search on some processes, always about 'weird' jump.

    I'm ready to do a clean install of Mac OS x, but since I am each week make backups Time Machine, my main worries:

    -What happens if my files on my external backup drive are infected by malware, I can't get back them without "infect" once again cleaning installation of Mac OS x, right?

    I would like to ask your advice about the vulnerability of my system and any suggestion on further analysis for the detection of malicious software supposed to.

    Sorry for this long post,

    I would really appreciate the help

    You must change your settings for call control.  Set it to "Anywhere" is dangerous.  Go to system-> Security and privacy preferences and change it to "Mac App Store and identified developers.»  Two, you have uTorrent installed - unless you are in the rare, rare, very small minority of people who use torrents for legal reasons, I think we both know that you use it for, and which may cause your system damage if you download something that is infected with malware or adware, as are most of the torrent offers.  I don't see no malware/adware on your hard drive, at least through your EtreCheck report, so you should be fine.

    I would also add that if you have anti-virus for your Windows partition, it is one thing, you don't need anti-virus for your Mac.  Anti-virus programs cannot protect you from malware or adware, and that's what Mac users needs to worry.  In addition, many AV programs negatively affects the performance of Mac because they don't play nice with them.  Therefore, I would like to uninstall Kaspersky and keep the program AV that you use for your Windows installation.  Windows needs an antivirus protection, OS X is not.

  • my computer is infected with a virus. I'm doing a system restore

    my computer is infected with a virus, I'm doing a system restore, but when I click on the tab to do it I get a message tha States window cannot find the path of restoration of the suggestions.

    Hello

    By using the system restore when you have malicious software is not a good idea, although she would go. System restore
    can actually help to spread malware and make more difficult or impossible to remove the malware. Best
    to remove malware and if it does Restore Point then use those IF necessary.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.
