The above named file is empty. Also I have the other one that is empty. Does this mean I have been hacked again??
I just reloaded my system after being hacked. I have not put any firewalls up, because I have a lynksys router. I thought I was covered by it. I have just added a kerios firewall. Plz tell me this is normal.
Is your computer set up so you can browse all folders and files?
Open up any folder and go to Tools - Folder Options
Then click on the View tab. After that make sure "Show Hidden Files and Folders" is checked and "Hide protected system files" is unchecked. (In win2k) Note: now that you can see stuff you can delete them (and mess up your system), so be carefull.
oops. no it wasnt. Thanks
BUT, those folders are properties of 0.........why would that be? even if they where hidden, they would show the amount of size right>??
Their size was zero?Quote:

Your in WinXP right? I am on Win2k so it will be a bit different, but even with the files and folders hidden, it still shows they take up space.
yes, they show zero. I jsut got an email, that I have a worm. Here is the name:
Worm.SomeFool.P
This means, I need to redo my system right>? Them clowns.
I just did a HOUSECALL online scan. It shows clear??? What is going on here??
yes XP Pro.
if someone that has you email address in thier address book gets infected the virus sends itself out to everybody in the address book from someone at random in the address book. it spoofs the sender in order to hide itself
Is it a notification email? Most likely you got that because someone has a antivirus product on their email server and it emails people when it recieves a message that has a virus to tell that person that they have a virus. Unfortuately, most new viruses spoof the email address to make it look (to the antivirus product) like it is coming from you. (So then the antivirus product emails you with a message saying you have sent one of their users a virus) Most likely you are not infected.Quote:

Edit: Tedob was faster than me.
Worm.SomeFool.P is another name for NetSky.P read more here
none of the symptoms of netsky reflect what you have reported
now am not sure about how XP organises its folders but it appears to me that the second folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Greg\Start Menu\Programs\ATI Multimedia Center)
is a folder accessable by clicking on start >> programs when logged in as Greg
did you have a piece of software called ATI Multimedia Center?? Or something made by them?
/me goes googles who they are - found it here
did you install this software and then uninstal? perhaps the uninstaller left the folder behind after removing the shortcuts??Quote:
Multimedia Center is an integrated suite of software applications designed to provide the ultimate multimedia playback experience.

I re installed my OS and now the problem is not there. I don't know what happened, but I assumed it was from a Hacker. Thank you all for the help.
