Help, please. I have been hacked!
Ok, I have read some of the answers to other posts. Here is my problem: there is a guy who is fixated on my girlfriend. (Well, ex- now, more on that later.) First, he cracked my yahoo and hotmail passwords, and sent her much email I didnt want her to see, if you know what I mean. And he changed the personal info so I cannot request a new password because I dont know the friggin zip code he used. Second, he must have got me with a trojan, because he recorded a voice conversation I had with another girl and sent it to the first. (Hence, the ex- in girlfriend!) After visiting this site, I downloaded "The Cleaner 3", and ran it. It found nothing. And I downloaded zonelabs firewall. But apparently that didnt stop him, so I am not sure if he has a keylogger or something, or just a password crack program. Also, before he cracked my hotmail, he sent me a junk email from my yahoo account, probably with something attached, I would think, but I thought the firewall would block access. Yes, I use windows 98, and I am not a technically informed person. (Call me ignorant, and stupid, if you want.) Any suggestions?
Check Zone Alarm 'Programs'
Firstly, if this guy can record conversations from your PC, then he probably knows you are looking here for assistance, and may change tactics.
Might be time to change ISP's so your address is 'lost' to him. If you have ADSL, changing the NIC will change your IP.
Secondly, Zone Alarm is only as good as you set it up. I got a nasty surprise on one computer when I found 'Notepad.exe' was allowed to access the internet. It was a Trojan that renamed itself to 'notepad.exe' and opened a port through Zone Alarm.
Check all programs allowed in and out, to ensure they are legitimate.
Do a netstat -an at the DOS prompt to ensure there are no active connections.
If you see 'his' IP, then report him to your ISP's abuse department.
