I've had a major problem browsing and posting here in the last 24-48 hours, which puzzled me (and annoyed me 'cos there were things that needed doing)
I run what I think is a fairly tight system.....AVG updated everyday, Zonealarm, Windows defender and a weekly Adaware and spybot S&D scan....plus from time to time I use a portscanner....my wireless networkk has 128 bit protection and I don't
I always D/L to a specific folder rather than run from an .exe, and I scan the folder before running the prog.
Yet somehow, I got infested by tbon.exe (a spyware app) that nothing picked up apart from Z/A when tbon tried to access the internet.
I had a root around in the registry and found some stuff I didn't like, so I deleted it but still couldn't get normal speed access here......
I've just completed a 6 hour re-install from a boot drive image thanks to Acronis, and suddenly I'm back in properly and every thing's back to normal.....but I don't know what happened which is bothering me.
How could anything get through my security......why didn'tanything piick it up and is there anything that would have done????
Any security/network whizzes out there who could give me a clue????
On reflection, I should have run Hijack this and saved the log, but being an impatient twat I went for the last clean backup option...but I'd like to know so I can prevent it happening again.
BTW....if I've had these problems given how careful I try to be,it scares me thinking about the PC innocents who don't even run a decent firewall
PS Tbon isn't that serious, and there are fixes out there....I was lucky this time but I'm now worried.
