Me = Hacked?

Question

This morning, I checked the accounts on my computer and there was an account like "NET ...." or something, which wasn't visible in the login screen (I use Windows XP), and just just now, McAfee ActiveShield (VirusScan) was disabled. And before, I clicked Submit to submit a comment on YouTube, and it linked me to a video of lesbians kissing and then a video of some guy who takes a photo of himself everyday. Hacked?

Answer 1

You are not hacked. If you installed dot net framework then you will see ASPNET user account.

But your PC is affected with spyware. Please use antispyware and scan whole PC. Its highly recommended to use antivirus also.

Answer 2

No, yoy were not hacked, but your computer was infected when you clicked on that button on YouTube probably.

Now to clean it up. Use both on-line scans.

1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan, no download) with BitDefender.

2. Scan for trojans and spyware and remove (free online scan, no download) with Ewido.

When your computer is fully dis-infected, go to Windows Updates and apply all Windows Critical Patches. A compleatly updated and patched Windows will rarely be compromised by malware by simply visiting a website.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Most probably yes. There is no Net account in XP unless you're using Server edition. You should update your anti virus system and scan the whole system to be sure. but i think that at most chances you have either a worm or adware in your system

Answer 4

I guess you have some virus or spy ware in your system. Schedule a thorough virus scan with latest virus definitions

Answer 5
