    How do you know someone has gained access? How did they accomplish this?

    I'd say it's a case for an expert. Most of these anti viruses are protective, but if breached are they any good?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,316 ✭✭✭deceit


    Disconnect it from the internet would be your first step, after that you can start repairing it.

    You don't know enough to fix it, take it to a repair shop.

    Wipe the c:\ drive and start afresh if you're willing to backup your own file system before and get it cleaned feel free but do so at your own peril

    We are going to need specifics if anyone on here is going to have a cat in hells chance of getting to the bottom of this.

    Aside from the viruses what makes you think you have been hacked?

    You say they have made another user account, what is the name of the user account?

    Are you posting from the computer which has been compromised?

    I assume you are using windows, what version, e.g. XP, Vista, 7, 8 10.

    I'm using my iPad at moment the other user account is ASP.Net machine account I ping the location and it show Ashtown as my location.Im not in Ashtown nowhere near it.

    The ASP.net account is created when the .net framework gets installed. What were the last 3 programs you installed?
    I ping the location and it show Ashtown as my location.Im not in Ashtown nowhere near it.

    Please try to be as verbose with your answers as possible. What location? Where do you see this location? When you said you pinged the location and it says Ashtown, how did you ping it?

    Also, you never said what version of Windows you are using.

    Known what?!?

    So the NBP map says you are in Ashbourne but your not in Ashbourne and from this you have reasoned that you have been hacked. Is that it?

    That the laptop was hacked

    As a favour to me, would you walk me through how you came to this conclusion, aside from the creation of the .Net account?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭rob808


    That easy the NBP map design to find you on the map it use eir code when I press the target location it should had gone to my address instead it go to Dublin.I give you example when I use my iPad it bring me to my address but the laptop bring me to Dublin why?.last night I detected 4 virus and now this morning 19 virus.

    Google "asp.net account" or something like that and do some reading before jumping to conclusions. Ignore the location thing, there are also multiple explanations why that is showing up wrong.

    Then ask your brother where he's been browsing, clicking and downloading to start to solve the separate virus (likely malware) issue.

    asp.net Google say it for building web sites

    rob, you sound like you don't really understand what you're talking about and your short and incomprehensible answers here are not helping anyone help you. The locations you're seeing could just be the location of your ISP's equipment. This is not a sign of a hack.

    Take some time to explain what exactly is going on.

    For example
    I have a Dell Model bla bla bla running Windows 7 SP1.
    As of last night a screen has popped saying my computer is locked by the FBI unless I pay €XXX to some paypal account.
    I cannot access my files.
    Here is a screenshot/photo of my screen

    or
    I have a Macbook Air from 2012 running OS X 10.9.5.
    Last night this thing called MacKeeper wanted to fix my Mac.
    I give it my credit card details and now my Mac is very slow.

    I'm not sure how much clearer anyone can make it but you're looking, specifically, for information on why there's and asp.net account on your Windows computer. Try using more defined search terms such as "asp.net user account Windows computer."

    Once you find this, you'll realize your hacker explanation is pretty unlikely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭paulmclaughlin


    rob808, you clearly have no idea what you are doing.
    The ASP.net account is not a problem at all, forget about it.

    The way I see it, you have 3 options.

    1. Bring it to a PC repair professional and let him fix it.
    2. Wipe the computer (possible needlessly & I don't know if you're capable of it anyway)
    3. Continue using the laptop as normal.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,518 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Are there any important files on the machine? Photos, important documents etc? Have you a backup solution for these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    OP, take the computer to an expert and let them fix it and show you at the same time.

    Patronising much? The guy said he can clean everything and reinstall so give him the benefit of the doubt. Clearly English isn't his first language so don't expect "verbose" explanations as another poster requested.


    OP, I'd say it's just that you have a virus that's causing havoc on your machine, so you can either try to clean this yourself or bring it somewhere to be done professionally.

    or
    well let with start NBP map it ping your location not your ISP because it be useless and not fit for purpose.I said before I did same for iPad I'm using pick up my current address the laptop should do the same it doesn't plus the location keep moving ISP equipment doesn't do that.

    I install a free anti virus last night when I cope it and had 4 virus on it Trojan and malware and 19 virus today plus I try cmd and type netstat -ano and it show establish connections.

    There someone defiantly has some remote access how much i don't know only came to board to see if anyone had any ideas.

    I didn't even know someone could even do that thanks for help don't think anybody can help going to get my sister husband to look at it he know alot more about computers I get him to wipe it clean.

    You have to help the posters to help you.

    My thoughts would be get someone who knows what they're doing to have a look and explain to you what the issue is, if there is an issue.

    For now make sure you remove the internet connection whether it's Wi-Fi or via Ethernet

    The help you get is going to be based on the info you supply. The more info you give the more help you will receive.

    Seems like it would be alot easier to just let someone who knows what they are doing look at and fix the laptop than trying to get answers here from the limited info you are providing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 607 ✭✭✭sonny.knowles


    Hang on a second - are we sure that rob808 is the victim here? Maybe he's actually the hacker...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭rob808


    I guess location thing and probably the remote access it most likely a virus im updating to window 10 that should fix it.I couldnt bother reporting people rather forgive and forget not worth fighting with people thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    OP. Just download malwarebytes and update it and do a full scan of your computer... https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

    Doing the upgrade wouldn't fix viruses unless you do a clean install after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    A full clean install of the operating system is a last resort and should never be done just for such a simple problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭rob808


    Ok thanks very much

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭rob808


    The virus gone AVG got it the other threat were cookies AVG got them to but i do a clean to just be on the safe side.

    Ok thanks very much

    Just download malwarebytes from my previous comment and when installed click the scan button up the top and click on Custom Scan the one in the middle and then click configure and place a check-mark on c: drive and then on the left part check the box that says rootkit scan and then scan your system. It will take a good while to finish but it will let you know when done on what it finds.
