I thought that we are supposed to be helping people out and not fighting with each other. like lev-arris said hit ctrl + alt + del to see what programs are in memory if any look suspicicous close them down. That picture was wrong.

first i dont trust anti-virus because if a hacker really wanted to he could obtain a unpacked server and trim it then pack it making it undetectible. Another thing you would want to do is check for the places trojans will startup here is a link where yo can find aout start methods - http://www.tlsecurity.net/auto.html - (by the way trojans dont always show up in ctrl+alt+del they can hide in theads now!) - Another KEY THING TO DO IS GET A FIREWALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend zonealarm for beginers. Good Luck

Here is a previous post I did for a thread on trojans; some of the information should help you out.

Ways to Help Protect your Comp from Trojans and Etc:

1. Invest in a good virus scanner ( I recommend Norton, but someone might know a better one)
2. Don't download stuff you dont need, also included in this rule is dont open email attachments from people you don't know.
3. Check OS startup entries: (Registry, AutoExec, Startup Folder)
As mentioned you can use Sysedit, MsConfig, Regedit, etc

Here are a few places to look for suspious entries:

Places to look in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\RunServices

Places to look in the Win.INI:
"load="
"run="
normally these are left empty

Note: Check the AutoExec.bat for odd entries

Also as mentioned it prolly wouldnt be a bad idea to format your drive.

Good Luck I hope this helps alittle!

If you don't feel comfortable with using regedit, sysedit or msconfig then you might wanna try JP' s link.

Also: Dump that boyfriend, what a control freak

Listen up dorks, Its a legitamate Question, Mabe the guy is some sort of jelous control freak. In that case dump his silly ass!!! But on a more serious note.


It is quite possible that he installed some sort of a key logger, Which he would have to have acess to your PC to even use, Unless he has Sub 7, or Various other Trojans. I recommend TDS3 which can be found in a trial version at www.wilders.org, It is a Pro tool with a very user friendly interface.

Guys dont flame her for having bad taste in men!!!!!


The most courageous acts, are those that remain unseen.
