I'm not sure how it happened, but I had to deal with a rather nasty Trojan this morning. Here's the deal with it.
I'm not sure how I got it because the ONLY thing I've downloaded are some pictures off photobucket. I guess it was a hijacking Trojan of some kind. (Plus the only other places I've been are this site, YouTube, ScrewAttack and my e-mail. (Making sure to get rid of the untrustworthy stuff without looking at it, thank you very much.))
Anyways, what it did was that it infected the "system 32" file and a few registry files. This stopped me from having internet access, thus making me unable to update. I then decided to take action and go into Safe Mode with Networking.
After that, I was able to update, and Malwarebytes took care of the rest. It wasn't able to find it before the update, but after that, it was able to detect it and clean it.
Also, since I update my stuff weekly, what we're looking at here is a brand new Trojan outbreak. Update your arsenal guys, or you won't have internet access.
Well, that's what I wanted to report.
See ya later!
