OT: Where can I download a Virus or three?

[Romulus68]

Friend needs to stop an Ex who is accessing her computer, getting in her emails, etc.

I go along the lines that it maybe illegal

Anyway, why does she not change the passwords?
If he can still get in, then isnt he breaking the law?

Somehow she changes passwords and he still gets in her accounts. i told her he may have installed a watch program on her computers. Anyone know how to find if one is on there?

[Romulus68]

oh, she wants the Virus to keep him off his PC for a while. Mainly its for his intrusions as punsihment.

Or a keylogger
The best bet, is too disconnect the PC from the internet, then go through the add/remove programs, and unistall anything you dont know (so, it would need to be done by someone who has a wide knowledge of programs)
Also, make sure you install a good AV program and do a deep scan

another option is, backup all important files (personal files, etc), then format and reinstall the OS

PS. and be sure that she is taught about not excepting/opening suspicious files, links or email, this should limit the chances of this happening again
Unless of course, he is a high level hacker. In which case, the best option is through the courts on the plea of harrassment and invasion of privacy
Which wouldnt be a bad idea regardless

Solution: Go over to the Ex's house and put a dead fish inside his computer case, bolt the computer case to his furniture, and weld the computer case shut.

Then take your time in properly securing your computer, changing your passwords, and inform your ISP (or change ISP) of the situation (omit the fish part) and then call his ISP and then his work and inform them of what is going on.

Take down names and numbers of everyone you talk to.

[Azselendor]

forgot to mention, have customer support change her passwords remotely or change them on a totally separate computer from the one that is infected.


ps, if you have time and the ability, push dead fish inside the dryer. Not the drum, but open the back and put on something that gets really hot.

Here are a couple of options, if you think that it is a spyware/keylogger/rootkit - try either :-
eEye Blink Personal
Sophos Anti-Rootkit sarsfx

Otherwise a Sledge Hammer to the guys knee caps should do the trick.

If you want maximum security, unplug that ethernet cable.

Narfs' Wisdom on Relationships: The quickest way to determine if someone such as a girlfriend/boyfriend, spouse or family member is a user is to create a disablement/work ratio. Be sure to use their real disablements and note their willingness to do work that does not challenge their disabilities.

For friends, simply determine the ratio at which they can provide toys, compared to the ratio at which they use other peoples' toys.

And be very suspicious of people who claim that anything is always someone elses' fault.
