Possible Keylogger/Malware/Spyware Problem

Hi There,

Firstly thank you for offering your services to the people of the world for free especially myself. It's a huge gesture which I really appreicate & admire.

Im a Forum Administrator on music forum which uses Invision Power Board. My account on this forum was hacked by an IP address in the UK somehow by stealing my password .They accessed the admin Control Panel & sent a mass email/PM asking members to sign up to another forum.

So I think I have a keylogger and/or trojan/spyware hiding about in my PC, which could be taking any other og my username/password details.

I am very careful about what I download, but think it came from a free premium rapidshare (Account details can be given if required) a forum member gave me.(owners advised this is the member who hacked my account) who has since been deleted from the forum.

I've ran Ad-Aware & done a full scan using my McAfee which didn't really pick up anything but am still skeptical as to whether or not the trojan/keylogger has been removed.

Appreicate your expertise & knowldge which is a great asset to us all how need it. Keep up the great & generous work!

King regards,

Antonio

URL Assistant<---Pre-installed on Dell/HP machines. This is a program that redirects mis-typed URLs to a Dell branded Google search page.
Viewpoint Media Player<---Viewpoint is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

Reputations can also be added to web search results, Gmail, Wikipedia, and other selected sites.

WOT reputations are computed mainly from user testimonies. Sharing your knowledge with others is just a click away, without ever having to leave the site.

The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites from serving you unsolicited advertisements. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is the IP of your local computer. Note that if you use a company provided HOSTS file you should not use the MVPS HOSTS file.

If your having trouble downloading & extracting,see link below for guidance:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts2.htm

Once you have extracted the host file,double click on it and a new window will open.

Double-click on mvps.batand follow the prompts

Re: Possible Keylogger/Malware/Spyware Problem

Thank you for all your help so far you have been great:)

My account on this forum was hacked again yesterday once I was re-instated as a forum admin.Perhaps becuase I didn't get the chance to change my password & login details but im still lost has to how it's happening even though my system is clean.

Will simply changing my password fix it? Any other thoughts?

Your TSF account was hacked and by that i mean your password was changed. Do you keep your account information anywhere on you computer or at your forum?

Re: Possible Keylogger/Malware/Spyware Problem

Sorry for the confusion I mean't my account on the music forum was hacked & deleted not TSF. But was my TSF account hacked also? I don't store my account information anywhere. That's why I thought I had a keylogger at first.

It seems the owners & seem to think someone has hacked the music site getting the login in details & the server IP, nothing may have happened on my PC but not still not 100% convinced yet.

We think once the person hacked into the main server they have access to everyone's accounts and do things like undelete banned members, ban other members without them realising it & could even delete the owners account if they wanted. It just happens they used my account as im the only forum admin apart from the owners to send out the Mass PM's & emails.

Do you think this would be correct? Any other steps I can take to retify this?

If your TSF account was hacked, they would have changed the password, so i doubt that was the case.

If you have not done so already, i would recommend that you take the site offline, until the problem has been corrected.

It would seem as thought the problem lies at the forum, have you spoken to Invivision and see if the can run some security scan to check if the site has been compromised?

There is nothing in your logs to indicate a keylogger or anything else for that matter, so you`ll need to speak to someone who deals with server issues, which is something i no little about.
