I posted on 12/16 about my computer being possessed and received no response
but accidently I think I have proved myself right. Two days ago while I was
on line I got a pop up saying my task panel had encountered an unknown error
and had to close. It kicked me off line and when I tried to dial back up it
kept telling me the port was already in use. I went into network connections
and there was a new connection I had never seen and it was continously trying
to dial up, I picked up the phone line that my computer is hooked to and I
could still hear it trying to dial like on a speaker. I tried to delete the
connection and it would make a copy of itself. I finally uninstalled my
modem, then I could delete the connection. I ran Stinger and it detected a
W32/SdBot.worm.gen.virus and a W32/SdBot.worm.gen.i.virus it destroyed both
of them. Then just for safe measure I ran Panda online scan and it found a
W32/Gaobot.AKR.worm and destroyed it. After that I ran Spybot, Adaware,
Hijack This and then I did all of them again and everything came back clean.
BUT I know there is still something because I keep getting an event about
changing the system time and when it lists my computer name there is a $ sign
behind it, and when I am not on my computer there is events saying that I
logged on. I contacted Microsoft virus and they said I probably didn't have
another virus if Stinger or Panda was not detecting it but Stinger did not
detect the one that Panda did...My computer is running slower than ever and I
have 2 wuauclt running. 1 of them is listed wuauclt1 in system 32. I tried
to delete the wuauclt, emptied the recycle bin and it came right back to
system 32. How do I get rid of this problem???There are events that when I
click on the link to microsoft it tells me it is a bad address.
