System Security issue

I would think if you uninstalled all the software it would nullify the key for that machine allowing a reinstall without buying one again. that has been my experience with Corel and Photoshop, and they are very picky.

gigagiggles, thanks for the info on HijackThis. It is not a program I am the most familiar with.

Meezy, thats pretty bad actually. I can't tell you what to do and what not to do, but I would not continue trust a system that was so badly infected. Let's just hope that it is finally clean. I would recommend that you start making images of your harddisk so that when problems like this occur, you can restore your computer to exactly how it was before, with no chance of malware persisting.

had back ups they were infected... too... and a good friend of mine tracked down the attacker that force fed me the packets... dude didn't even mask his real ip when he attacked me... though he tunneled the packets as microsoft updates... which is pretty clever considering my KIS didn't pick ip on it at first... cuz he actually sent me legit MS updates that had the infections binded inside them... and since he attacked me my friend kinda took it personal and re-directed all the infectious packets coming from this attacker back to him.... and i report the abuse to his isp... but im still feel like i cant trust this pc so i will reinstall sadly cant re obtain autocad they want to charge me for the license again... well i don;t know if its the license they wanna charge for i didn't let the lady finish she "said well sir we would have to charge a fee of...." and i said "wait wait your going to charge me for something i have already bought? well doesn't that defeat the purpose, how would you expect someone to pay for something that is already paid for... couldn't i just use the key in my email..." she said "our records show that the key that was initially assigned to you is used on over 10pc's which is more than the actual allowed amount of 3pc's so no you cannot use the original key." so i think all my product keys are compromised.... which is going to suck....

right now i am trying to avoid the reinstall
so i am rescanning and creating a KIS rescue disc.... to scan at boot up... maybe the infections are melted and set with persistence... see since im narrowing down what it is... i can deal with it...

well this only works for the software that isn't hardware id signed... meaning isn't bound to specifics of your hardware... which i am not worried for these softwares cuz i can use these keys as many times needed.... but like autocad it is completely hardware identifier dependent... when i first registered and installed and went to payment it generated a hardware id for the specific installation it did it for each pc that it was installed.... the key is the same but the hardware id is not... e.g would be say you installed and payed you would receive the initial product id which is like 111-12121212 000D0 then after installation you ask for a request of activation this is generated dependent of your specific hardware which is similar to a windows product key like XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX then that is used for the company to generate your license for the product which is a alphanumeric code comprised of 5 digits times 16 fields to be filled.... its like this for a number of the programs that i use... its supposed to cut down on phishing and piracy of keys... but as long as someone gets the initial product id then they can use it to generate a new one off my account with that program.... so it costs me a hell of a lot of pain and trouble trying to fix all this... if this helps to explain my reluctance of reinstalling....

This? Try it.

before i do anything i am waiting for my friend to get done analyzing the Copy of my hdd that he made yesterday... he is a MIT pro... so hopefully he can find a resolution for this... he has already explained to me that i am not the cause of the infection that nothing i downloaded infected me... i was infected by the source of the infection... he said that it originated from the network attack i received prior to this... that the rat was just a distraction... it wasn't ever accessed... while i have be trying to cleanse the files affected by the rats injections... He said once i am able to disinfect the files affected by the rat it will slow what ever the true threat is... he is really interested in this case cuz he says it resembles some of the things he is studying... which is polymorphic encryptions said it was a very very complicated type of encryption... he also said that i may want to have my isp change my ip... as it seems it has been hijacked... so right now i am using a friends internet connection... so apparently i have been hit with something that is well orchestrated ....

i have currently isolated 30 different instances of the rat... i tracked to 3 programs poison ivy, cybergate, and DARKCOMET... i performed a port scan on my network and found 60 opened ports...
these ports are: 3330,3303,2290,666,333,1212,8081,2121,4444,5555,6666,1111, ect. none of these ports have associated services nor programs.... so what i think the purpose of all this which goes back to WOW is the script kiddy got mad when i defeated him an took everything he had... so he had the ip hack that shows everyones ip instead of names force fed me packets.... infected me to steal everything i have in real life.... which make him a total douche, a blackhat, which i don't like blackhats... which he made one mistake he left a digital fingerprint on everything he force fed me...
i have already tracked him to the A city less than a mile from me... i am taking all this really seriously... i don't like when people screw with the integrity of my system... nor when it has to do with a meaningless quarrel in a virtual world.... over a game... so i am going to pay him a visit once i trace his address.... cuz i fear at this point there is no choice but to re-install... but this time i'm going to create an os deployment on my network and use a 2tb section on my network for backup drive... also i am going to look in to some better security software... and make the douche pay for it all... i have entirely to much money tied into my systems to have to pay for everything again... i have already froze my pay-pals and alerted my banks of my security breach they are analyzing my records to make sure nothing was taken from any of the accounts... and are also going to try to help me in the situation of not having to pay for any of the programs that i have already purchased with my accounts....

kaspersky is going to re-issue me a commercial key... microsoft is analyzing my product key to make sure it isn't being used by other systems.... all the other programs i can re-install with previous keys except autocad have to convince them to re issue a key... also i have to contact all my game companies to see if i can still used the same keys... i know i can with most but my alice madness returns may be an issue....along with a few others... this really sucks i hope that he didn't get all of my product keys... so far it seems he has only take the expensive ones... like autocad...

Good to hear meezy. Now get the rat, draw, quarter and report him.

Just curious as to how you made the 'police' stay outside?!
