VerifierBug.class

Was my machine hacked? Was a backdoor established?

Answer 1

Ok did u know who you were sending stuff to? man dont just send files to people u dont know. Now if you send something they arent going to know your ip just from that pic, but its posible they do have a backdoor to your pc. Firewall the heck of your machine and that should stop it, also get norton it has one of the best firewalls out there

Answer 2

I don't think you can get the IP and I don't think it was hacked. Unless this person was running some kind of sniffer software or something, they couldn't know your IP. Besides, I think those are probably standard files. Most viruses aren't written in Java anyway as Java isn't very good for tha sort of thing. I would run a free virus scan from Panda.
Just goto http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm and scroll down and click the button that says "Scan your PC". It'll ask if you want to enable an activeX control. Click yes on all the screens (but first make sure it says Panda) and you'll be able to scan for if you've got a virus.

Answer 3

to me it seems like your right. He/she got acess through Y! messenger and managed to infect your computer with virues.
And it also looks like he infected something with the Java software, sadly he also knows your IP,but there is not really a way if he got into your computer if you had a FIREWALL. I dont use the windows firewall since it sucks. I use Zonealarm by zonelabs.

Answer 4

If he's a committed hacker there are procedures around firewalls, exceedingly the common ones you purchase interior the shop. Firewalls do a solid job of blockading everyday ports yet while he truly works at it he can get in using different procedures.

Answer 5

Yup. The guy got into your comp. through Y messenger, and somehow through java. Yes. He could have gotten your IP. MAKE SURE YOU GO OUT, AND GET A FIREWALL. If you did, when he attempted to get your I.P, and send a trojan to get into your comp. It would have showed his I.P, and you would have been able to ban his IP and block access to your comp.

Answer 6

im pretty sure that that cannot happen from a picture sharing. unless you did somehting that you wernt saposta do
