Question

I was booting up! Is it some sorta of hacker? Sounds to me it might be my nasty sister that's been accusing me of trying to hide! But I really don't think she has the patience to do hacking! I suppose it takes patiences! Well what does 31337 Ubenkar mean? It flashed across my screen this morning as It was booting up! Was never on it before! Does anyone know?

I do have AVG it's suppose to be a good Antivirus Guard so I was told!
In fact a techie installed it not I!
I have Spyware remover too supplied by my Internet Server!

A Techie on the phone told me Ubenkar merely means confirm!
I guess hackers just like to make things look complicated!

Computer is doing a check.. Checker V Com said it's ok to use computer while checking occurs in background!
It is slowing the internet down though!

Answer 1

No Anti-malware tools can 100% protect your PC from malware.

BEST ADVICE from Chris Pirillo, and I quote:

Wanna know how to keep your computer free from viruses, pop-ups, spyware, and other junk? Here’s how to do it without installing a single piece of software:

Tell all the males in your house to quit surfing for porn

Buy CDs and rip the tracks from there

Get a Netflix or Blockbuster account instead of using BitTorrent

Instead of looking for software cracks / serials, look for coupons

Stop operating in Administrator mode

Adhering to these five points (and forcing your family or roommates to do the same) should be enough to cut your risk by 90%, I’m guessing. You could do more to protect yourself, though, if you feel the need to download something:

Download drivers through official (or sanctioned) sources

Avoid unnecessary browser toolbars, plugins, or enhancements - and if you’re not sure if a toolbar is TRULY necessary, don’t install it

Read through every bit of a software installer process to ensure you’re not adding something that you don’t need and/or want - and if you’re not a geek, don’t install ANYTHING without first asking permission (from your Administrator)

Think twice before clicking on links sent to you by email or IM - especially if they prompt you to log in somewhere or download something else

Surf through OpenDNS servers for automatic Web site typo correction as well as an extra layer of phishing filters

That’s probably worth another 10% as far as protection from spyware / viruses are concerned. If you wanna be super-duper protected, surf the Web with Firefox or move to OS X (sorry, gang) and run Windows apps through Parallels.

Best advice: Back up all your personal data and re-install Windows.

Answer 4

I would also consider running a scan or two for keyloggers.

One is found here by GMER:

Besides the two great ones, 'chmod' suggested-
Add this to your anti-spyware arsenal also:

Hope this helps...

*Thanx for the lesson- 'chmod'...

Use protection,

Answer 5

Check your antivirus program if it is working properly? Unwanted computer codes/commands(computer Virus) might be my first guess!

If you don't have any antivirus...download avast antivirus home addition, It is free of change and working really well.
