Computer compromised

[clark33]

Hi there,

Im trying to help my mum out with her computer. After a visit to her local bank they informed her that someone had got her bank details online and has been ordering video games for themselves from this. I need to ensure that her PC is like fort Knox as im meant to be good with computers but need help this time. Heres what ive tried so far:-

Ran MSE anti-virus, updated and full scan: nothing found.
Ran Malwarebytes anti malware: updated and full scan: nothing found

IE is the latest version but it seems to have adverts all over the place. Ive disabled all add-ons but to no avail. Is the best thing to do next uninstall and reinstall IE?

Thanks for any advice given to me.

Run HiJackthis and post the log file as well.

I would also recommend checking to make sure that there are no rootkits; can be done with TDSSKiller by Kaspersky (free tool).

Also, I would shy away from IE if possible. Go with FireFox or Chrome, and install ad-block / flash block extensions. This way, ads are blocked and flash is blocked by default unless you click on the video's frame and click play (good way to block flash-based ads as well).

I would also recommend NoScript for FF, but can be a bit tricky if used by a non-technical person as it will block individual sites requesting access on a single site (i.e. has embedded links / resources and such).

Hi there

Tried to install Hijackthis on the infected PC. It just comes up with "installation interupted" when i try to run the install. Im guessing this PC is totally goofed and im gonna have to reinstall windows. funny how MSE and malwarebytes never found anything though.?

I've found that DrWeb CureIt will often detect something that Malwarebytes and my regular AV missed. There's no installation and it stops everything else while it's running (similar to Windows UAC).

Even the best AV/scanners won't catch everything.

Are you getting it from here? HiJackThis | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net

Just download the Hijackthis.exe and run it; no installation is necessary. Run it as admin so that it can analyze the system properly.
