hi,
i had some problems whit the virus or worms a post on the title, after many time trying to "fix" the computer i think i get rid of them, things aparentlly are working normal again, the ie works well again, no more about:blank or elitebar, ... my ClamWin anti virus detected some trojans , i deleted them, one i remember is name is protector.exe in the window folder.. and detected some more , but don´t remember their names now, deleted them all, ..first: is ClamWin a good anti-virus? or do i have to try others? (cus i just find the trojan when run a system32 scan and windows folder scan)
second:, when i clickdisable simple file sharing i can see which user have permission to a folder, in some of my disk folders , in the right click security tab, appears in the group or users names , next to the adminatrators ,system, users, a user whit a diferent icon , not the normal 2 heads icon, its just one head whit a question mark and whit the name s-1-..-448...-156....-10...-10.. (the ...are more numbers ) any idea of what is this? and im just asking to see if ..first if is normal,..and to see if its got something to do whit the trojan protector.exe , cus in the any user aplication data folder/microsoft is being created a folder called protec, containing a folder whit the exact name that appears on that head whit question mark icon on the security tab right click...
..wait, i deleted that folder i launched msn messenger and i see now that is messenger that is creating that folder .. still have no idea why in some folder right click , security tab appears that same name s-1-5-...
on the groups or user names and whit a diferent icon..... what got messenger to do whit just some of my disk folders...
do you have messenger ? can you see if this folder on the aplication data / microsoft /protect exists for you too?
maybe just my paranoia , but i know theres some aplications that records anything in messenger and ..i found some trojans on my pc...
