Hey,
Im a World of Warcraft player and i got hacked in the past.. Didin't had any protection or whatsoever.. And always visited links.. I didin't even knew what Trojan horses, or keyloggers were.. But anyway..
This is what i get, and im very concerned my account my be comprimised once again. I have removed it with my Spybot search & Destroy program but im concerned about this: This trojan horse gets installed in background, it registers itself to the system start and winlogon. It has multiple exe files and dlls with variable names running in background which protect each other and connect to the internet in background. The hosts file gets hijacked and all search sites for example from yahoo, google and msn are getting redirected to PremiumSearch. The computer gets slowed down and the security settings get compromised. The trojan horse also uses rootkit functionality to hide some of its parts. Removal of this trojan horse will require a reboot. After the reboot the explorer may not start anymore, this will require to open Spybot via the taskmanager and fix the remaining parts of PremiumSearch.
I don't understand what i should do.. I need some better information about this. I am immume to everything. And am fully updated. I got AVG, Spywareblaster and Spybot ofcourse ;)
Thanks in advance,
Naor Amsalem.
