I have several anti-virus and spyware programs that I run several times a
week, that include MS Malicious Software Removal Tool, AdAware, SpyBot, SBC
Anti-Spy, McAfee VirusScan, McAfee Stinger, Trend SysClean, and I run a
program in safe mode in DOS after I back up my registery. By the names of
the programs, they all seem to search out viruses, worms and trojans.
On two occasions within the past year, my accounts at two internet sites
that include the transfer of money/selling or buying items have had proven
hijacking attempts.
In addition, and this is just about never heard of, when I was at WinMX
yesterday, 3 songs in a time period of about 5 minutes were added to my list
of songs that I wanted to download. I didn't add the songs to my list, they
"added themselves to my list." They appeared and attempted to download. I
instantly stopped the connection before the songs started to download and did
a complete sweep of my computer using each program named above. It took me
10 hours (Trend SysClean took 8 hours!).
My questions is: Do the above programs also scan for hijacking attempts or
is there another program that I can download/run to see if someone is
attempting to hijack my computer?
I need to determine if someone is attempting to hijack my computer again
because I just recently resumed using the 2 sites where money is involved.
