i think after the ethernet is pulled, the backdoor virus which is undectectable puts down random strings of text and random actions in place of the actions that should come from the originator.
The culprit knows some of his personal info (probably grabbed from looking @ his emails).
Should we call the cops on this one?
also, This is happenning right now. If you don't believe me fine...But I've never lied in these forums, and I never will; and I am only trying to get assistance as to what I should do. I despise liers in this forums (aimster, dennifloss, etc...). some of you know me personally, so why the hell should i lie about this?
I'm trying to get rid of this virus/backdoor/trojan/whatever it is...so if any of you have any info or experience on this, I'd greatly appreciate the advice.
i'm having jeff to get his isp to change his ip right now
------------------------------
(long but wierd strange story...SCARY stuff!)
First off, my friend (let's call him jeff) has a legit copy of norton antivirus 2003 that's updated and his subcription has still about 7 months left in it.
He does his usual weekly autoscan every friday night, and the program updates itself of definitions. He has all the windows critical updates.
He is protected by both a hardware firewall (router) and a software firewall (windows xp's standard firewall)
This sounds like a case of a backdoor virus...
Ok so a week ago, jeff is typing up some email, and all of a sudden the computer starts talking to him saying "hey sups you're jeff right? and your roommate's kevin right?" (this info is correct) My friend goes WTF and closes his email right away. His icons now get selected and are moved to the trash can by themselves. He opens up AIM and everytime there's a text field, the mysterious guy talks to him.
jeff gets pissed, so he disconnects the internet cable, but the dude is still talking to him!...While the computer is attempting to do a virus scan, in the background, this dude attempts to delete his icons and continues to pester him about pr0n and such in his computer (jeff has lots of it). Jeff ignores this thinking the virus scanner will pick something up.
While the virus scan is running, jeff decides to watch pr0n and jack off...only to have the video interrupted by pauses and stoppages. He gets mad and starts to watch TV via TV tuner on his computer. As he's watching TV, the TV starts switching channels on its own!!...
The virus scanner finishes and picks up NOTHING.
fast fwd a week..Jeff informs me of what happens...
He tells me he has already reformmated the comp. I told him to reformat again, this time w/ the windows update CD (burned setup files from the other windowsupdate site...where you can dl 'em individually).
after reformatting and connecting to the internet to download nessasary virus updates (for his nortons) and AIM, the culprit is at it again. He now recieves a bunch of jibberish on any text field that seems to be open. (ex: a;slkdjf;aklsdjfsafaawwwwwwwwwwwwwadffffffffwasdffffffffff...stuff like that). He immediately disconnects the ethernet cable.
he turns on his TV and boom the channel starts to flip on its own. Icons start moving towards the trashcan.
remember this is AFTER A REFORMAT AND A MERE DOWNLOAD OF AIM AND VIRUS SCAN UPDATES. he already has all the windows updates that deal w/ the recent string of viruses.
what's going on?!...is it even possible for someone to talk to him still even w/ the ethernet cable disconnected?...Is it possible to hack through the coax cable that's connected to his TV tuner card?..
damn this is nuts..
cliff notes:
-friend supposedly gets hacked...he gets wierd msgs from someone from any text field that may be on the screen....even after the ethernet cable is disconnected, a conversation still carries on.
-friend has all virus updates and windows updates, firewalls etc..and this still happens..
-after a reformat w/ updates, and even connecting to the internet to download AIM and nortons updates, the virus/attacker hits again....even after the ethernet cable is detached.
