Theres someone in my computer. They call themself trinity. They keep changing my backgruond and stuff. Its screwed up. THeyre making my life hell and i wisht hey would seriously stop.
LMAO Hahahaā¦ Get a firewallā¦ Sounds almost like your friends would be doing thisā¦ I meanā¦ yea hackers can get into it and everything and control remotelyā¦ Butā¦ If they do thatā¦ I dont know many who would be concerned with changing your backgroundā¦ Only looking for information reallyā¦ Unless they are just having some funā¦ which very well could be. You should get your virus scanner installed! and a Firewall!
i gotta go install it in safe mode cuz they said it doesnt work because of them, but i think it wasnt working before that. But it works in safe mode. Reccomend any free firewalls? i have one that came with my AV.
Just unplug your modem, save your important stuff and reformat man. Or do whatever else it takes, but try to unplug your modem so they canāt stop you from doing it :thumb:
DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET NOW !!. IāM SERIOUS. NOW !
Continue to read this thread on another computer.
If it still happens after youāve disconnected, then itās someone on your LAN playing tricks on you. Go beat him. If not, great - itās someone from the outside then, and now he canāt access it anymore.
Check your logs to see what you downloaded, who sent you what and what you opened - this is screaming āTrojan ! Trojan !ā, and trojans can only work when you open a file which you think is safe, but which in reality isnāt. If youāve figured out what caused the trojan to be installed on your system, do a virus scan on that particular file. If your virus scanner detects it, itāll show the name and you can start looking for an anti-tool.
Locally connect the comp to another, but make sure the comp youāre connecting it to has a firewall and virus scanner installed to block and spread attempts. If possible, execute the tool over the network, to prevent malfunctioning due to the trojan. If not, just execute it on the trojanāed comp.
The firewall will be turned on by default then, and you shouldnāt have anything to worry about. Also, make sure you have a password on your account AND THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT. Turn off the guest account and delete any extra accounts that you donāt use.
Then run adaware and spybot search and destroy.
If security is still a concern, invest around $25-40 and get a router
do what everyone else said and make sure remote desktop is disabledā¦should find by right clicking the āmy computerā icon on the desktop and selecting properties - then look for the āremoteā tabā¦
SP2 wonāt solve anything if itās a trojan. This is over-obviously a trojan.
Iām not sure how trojans work exactly, but donāt they have to access the internet??? With the Windows XP firewall from service pack 2, wonāt it pop up and ask you if ātrojan.exeā can access the internet or if you want to block it?
Installing service pack 2 may not solve his problem, but it certainly wonāt hurt him now will it.
Actually, it may. Numerous problems with SP2 have been reported, all due to the obsessive security. Besides, the trojan is already allowed to access the internet, and SP2 is the last choice to make when dealing with viruses and trojans - specialised software is needed for that.
Yeah, a similar thing happened to me a while agoā¦ back in (what I thought was) 1999. This person came into my computer while I was asleep at it with my headphones on. After following a white rabbit, I met the hacker and found out that her name is Trinity - probably the same person that is in your computer. Anyway, after taking a red pill from this bald guy, I went into another world and fought various enemies and helped free thousands of people from captivity. Two failed sequels later, I died a pointless death and ended up where I am now: lurking on KirupaForum.
