Your computer is heavily infected. Among the infections are what looks like a root kit and/or some backdoor trojans. Please read the following warning.

It appears you have a root kit and some backdoor trojans on your computer. If that is the case your computer is and always will be at risk. I cannot guarantee that we can clean everything and reset all changes that has been done to the computer.
Rootkits can be extremely hard to detect, and just as hard to clean out.
You have to think that from this point forward, you can't completely trust your computer. The root kit could be hiding a backdoor trojan.
It could be that it is possible for someone to secretly steal your financial an other sensitive information and do ANYTHING they want with the computer.
The only way to be SURE that the infections and the changes they have done are removed is to reformat and reinstall.
If that is acceptable to you, not only would it be safer, but it would probably be less time consuming to do a reformat than to clean up the computer.
Please read this article that was published by Robin at Castle Cops and you will understand better why this warning and what to do.

http://castlecops.com/a6511-Identity_Stolen_Now_what.html

Further to the article you are strongly advised to do the following immediately:

1. Disconnect the infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.

2. Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

3. From a clean computer, change *all* your online passwords – for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, any online forums or groups you belong to.

Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

Also do whatever else that seems appropriate.

Before you decide to reformat you should check that you have all the necessary information and software.

If you decide to continue with a cleanup you should not use this computer for financial or other sensitive transaction.

Let me know what you want to do. I am certainly willing to try and help you clean the computer but I cannot guarantee in any way that it will be Malware free. If you need direction on reformatting let me know.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Jimmy,

There is no way for me to know if Norton, or any AV would have actually prevented this from happening. I have no idea where it came from.

I do know that at an absolute bare minimum you need to have an Anti-Virus in place and up-to-date. Here are my general recommendations for protection. Use these along with safe surfing practices and your chances for re-infection are greatly reduced.

For reformatting here is a great tutorial from a very knowledgeable member of these forums:

http://spyware-free.us/tutorials/reformat/

To prevent future problems follow these steps:

Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. Here is a list of some free and evaluation versions to try: AVG AntiVirus
Avast Antivirus Home Version–Free
Online Scanners:
Trend Micro Housecall
Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. Here are some free and evalutation versions that provide
better security than the Windows Firewall.Kerio Personal Firewall
Zone Alarm Free
Outpost Firewall
For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some other available ones see the link below:
Understanding and Using Firewalls

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly or set your computer to recieve automatic updates. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Spybot: Search And Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers

Install Ad-Aware - Ad-Aware SE You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Install SpywareGuard - SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.
A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:
Using SpywareGuard to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Update all of your Anti-Malware programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed and the ones you are currently running regularly. Without regular updates you Will Not be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Here is a great link to a post here on securing your PC after an attack.
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?show…mp;#entry257163

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Good luck,
Dave
