    Is my PC hacked or Botted ? Pls help...
    « on: September 26, 2010, 03:46:47 PM »
    Hi,

    Today I downloaded Spybot S&D which found two suspicious registry entries*see atttachment). Moreover Trend Micro's RUBotted (downloaded couple of days ago) alerted me with following message :

    "Bot Found
    Find out whether your computer has been taken over by a Bot program to serve as channel for sending spam and attacking other computers"

    RUBotted asked me to download HouseCall which I did but it did not find anything. I also have Avast AV, Ad-aware. I regularly scan with them too but they never repots anything suspicious.

    What's up with this Spybot S&D find, is that suspicious, malicious or just a false positive. Pls help I am very worried. I am using ZoneAlarm which I think by default turns XP's native firewall off though not really sure.

    I always come to this forum because if you wanna get some real expert advice then then one place is computer hope.

    regards,
    rseni.

    1) Spybot is not reliable. Uninstall it and use MalwareBytes instead.
    2) Run a full scan with your installed anti virus utility.
