    Information from another thread


    Hello,
    I have recently been browsing the security news section and saw
    https://www.sevenforums.com/security-...t-malware.html
    Code:
    Non hyper-linked for the paranoid:
    https://www.sevenforums.com/security-basics/194853-malware-removal-guide-2011-how-get-rid-all-latest-malware.html
    In the article that this thread linked the author mentioned
    Other extensions and add-ons worth wielding to fight the malware fight include Web of Trust, KB SSL Enforcer, Adblock, and HTTPS Everywhere.
    I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to install those into my web browser (Chrome for now). The reason I am not using a Google search to find them is because add-ons such as these that are so highly looked at most likely have counterparts doing the opposite, just waiting for that unsuspecting person.

    NOTE: I am sorry if A: this is in the wrong place or B: if this has already been posted (did not find it).
    NOTE 2: If it is in the wrong place, could someone please point me to the correct place?

    Thank you,

    Edit: added CKScanner report
    Edit 2: added Avast! last full scan report and cmd prompt showing that the flash drive is not appearing to windows
    Edit 3: added Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log
    Edit 4: added Spybot – Search & Destroy log
    Edit 5: added picture of the folder and permissions that it has versus random EA folder (highlighting courtesy of MSPaint skills)
    Edit 6: attached DDS scan info. (I know I have utorrent installed)
    Edit 7: CKScanner file updated (was not scanned from on desktop before... new file was from on desktop)

    Could not change the title but as I said in edited post there might be something to look at.

    EDIT: going to make new thread for problem.

    There is nothing to indicate any problems in those file attachments. Why do you say it is troubling?

    What anti-virus software is currently installed on your system?

    currently avast and the thing I was wondering about is
    Folder Found : C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess
    Never heard of that before and when I looked at it there was a lock icon on the folder. The reason why I have been doing increased amount of scans is because recently I was messing around with another person's server code (released for public) and there was a RAT.java (--> RAT.class) and was wondering if it executed. the rat that it referred to was rataman.exe ... that being said I just check back on the thread it was released on and supposedly the file was not an actual rat downloader. (still want to be cautious)

    I would run a scan from outside the Windows boot environment, using this:

    Windows Defender Offline

    Will do shortly, and as for background information:
    Ran Avast! full scan (nothing found - will do again)
    Ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware either flash or full (nothing - will do again)
    Ran Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit
    Ran FSS
    Ran CKScanner
    Ran AdwCleaner
    -- the ones where I kept reports (more recent) were attached.

    EDIT: well there might be a logistical problem here.... the flash drive I was going to use got bricked on reformat (was a Win 7 bootable before - self made...). Not sure where another one is, will look shortly.

    Also I cannot burn or read CDs, but that was from before (CD drive just stop working a while back (before this RAT thing)).

    EDIT2: Gah I acted too soon with the reformat idea... read the directions on thread further and it says don't.

    I'm probably alone in this but I don't put a whole lot of stock in Web of Trust. Nothing wrong with the program per se, but its based on individual feedback. A bad rating could be due to anything from Virus's to someone being mad at a slow download. Many people use it and swear by it, but I found just too many "iffy" ratings for me.

    I agree - the ratings are influenced too much by individual recommendations based on idiocy.

    I agree with both of you, but it is nice to have something versus having nothing... (I have Avast! web rep thing but Chrome fights with it sometimes)
