Hi it's me again. I did something stupid. I was trying to get my hands on some hacking tools online, and all of them made me do a "survey". So I had to download many crap I knew I wouldn't use anyways. None of the tools worked. So I gave up. But now, my internet is crappy. I keep getting ad's, and " whatever.com is not responding to due a long script". I am signed out constantly, I go to play sims, and always get a message, "your computer is low on memory. please close x program", which it's not, and then the game crashes. The sights probably have viruses. I'm positively sure none of this happened ever, until I went to get the tools for hacking. What do I do?

My advice, which you probably won't like, would be to back up your important files and re-install Windows. If you want to try to save this installation, start with a full virus scan (what are you using?), run Malwarebytes, and run Spybot. All are available from download.com or directly from their sites. Even if those come up clean you can not be sure your system isn't compromised. Be aware of that if you go that route.

You're trying to download hacking tools, but you're not mature enough to figure out that anything requiring a survey for example is only going to crap on your system, as well as downloading random garbage infected with who knows what. Like monkey said, reinstall windows and grow up.

Almost all sites like that are traps, anyone who is actually good enough with computers to hack anything wouldn't be dumb enough to visits those sites. You made your bed, now go lay in it or reformat your machine because you surely have viruses, trojans, spyware, the whole lot.

Were you even running antivirus software or using a real browser? Your AV should have been throwing a fit, and Chrome and Firefox both have a list of known malicious sites and will toss you a warning if you go visit them, if you go past that warning it is your own fault and you deserve everything that lands on your machine.

Have you seen the news at all for the past year? If you don't think everything online is tracked you're deluded. No offense but you might as well do some Google searching with a few Homeland Security/NSA hot key words. I'm not a conspiracy theory nut, but just use some common sense if you're a law abiding citizen. What exactly were you trying to hack?

Guess what browser has the largest quantity of malware targeting it??? The browser used by those not computer savvy enough to install a new one, because those people are the easiest to trick into downloading malware!

You have no choice but a full reformat, don't do a quick format, you should wipe the entire drive, do not save any data, do not connect any flash drives, and get that machine off your local network as quickly as possible.

That... was not a good idea. Also, "hacking tools"? From an un-trustworthy website? What did you expect? There is no reason to be hacking people, and if you were actually capable of it, you would know that those surveys will give you viruses, that IE is asking for viruses, and that if you were going to hack, you wouldn't be using some tools off the internet. Wipe your harddrive, it's... what's the word? Screwed, that's it.

Guess that's what you get for trying to download hacking tools. I suppose you did get what you bargained for here with regards to that, but on the receiving end. Perhaps you'll re-think your intentions before trying that again, and hopefully you won't try it again.

Format the Hell out of it and re-install from the ground up. That is if you don't have something tucked away. I wouldn't even save your personal documents if you've been hit as hard as I think you have. Save nothing.

I have to say, this thread is invariably hilarious. Between all the reactions, and the original poster, it's just an absolute riot.

So you use Windows and you were actually dumb enough to complete a survey to it's end, then DL whatever it was you wanted? But, it doesn't stop there, you then just continued to log in to all of your accounts and do everything as if it were ok? You wanted to become a criminal, but instead, became the victim. You've probably got a RAT and there's probably somebody watching you through your webcam, recording your desktop, logging all your key entries, and siphoning all your personal data (passwords, photos). This is comical, you've made my day. Next time you start "hacking" don't come here for help. Maybe you could get a job in an Indian call center and become a pro-scammer (not)

My advice is, go to another PC you have, enter you mail, facebook, etc change all passwords, backup important files on your PC, backup sims 3 installation if you have many expansions cause I know its a pain to install them all. And then of course reinstall windows, you could try to remove viruses with an antivirus, but since it seems you've got many of them, I wouldn't recommend doing that, BUT do get an anti virus if you don't have one and scan every file you're backing up in an external HDD or whatever cause they could be infected.
