Best Keyloggers

[Ezekiel]

Ok, my kids recieved an email with an attachment on it from their father (my ex husband). The title to the attachment was "dadspicsofsouthdakota" they opened it without a second thought and it crashed the computer.
Upon restart, there was a small window in the middle of my desktop that was blank and the only way to get rid of it was to click "OK" at the bottom of it or click the "X". It came up a few times then quit.
Next thing I know, my email is wiped out, my **** account was accessed, and my readnotify.com account was accessed and all *****ed emails I used on emails I sent my ex husband were deleted.
I right clicked on the attachment he sent and it is an .exe file.

WHAT DID HE SEND ME?

If you don't run antivirus and firewall software, then you probably deserve a malware infection. You may think that sounds unfair, but if you use the internet without running protection, it's not like you MIGHT get malware (but only if you visit malicious sites); a malware infection is INEVITABLE when not running antivirus and firewall software, and it only takes a matter of days before your computer is infected with malicious crap. Especially when running unknown executables, AND probably not having any protection - that's just like asking all the crackers in the world, "please infect and damage my computer.

But getting back to the point, I can't know what happened simply from your description, but I s***est you go get yourself some antivirus, antispyware, antiadware, and firewall software, install them, and do a full scan whenever possible. Your computer is probably still being remotely accessed right now, from what you said.

Some free downloads:

If you're really paranoid, then you could reformat your computer with a ***** install of windows - some malware use rootkits that are incredibly hard to remove and detect.

Syntax****** and some others say zonealarm is a crappy piece of firewall software, but in the time I have to spend on windows, it has protected me fully. Also, antivir is not widely used, but I use it, and it has never failed, apart from the time it detected NMAP as a password stealing trojan for ****ING WEBSITES! Lol. If you got any questions on removing all that crap you got on your computer, post them here. Also, if you got ***** stolen through this malware, remember that ****s will usually have to pay the bill for the theft, not you. But I advise you to now go and change EVERY internet password you use.
