General Computer Support / Should TCP Viewer show my system BLOWING UP? Malware, Spyware & Hijacked, OH MY!
« on: November 30, 2014, 05:35:50 am »
Hello,
I'm not quite sure what to do here, I've been hit with so many things that my head is kind of spinning. This is all very new to me though I'm trying to learn how to deal with it as fast as I can. I've already gotten rid of a few malware/virus problems, which may or may not be completely gone, and may or may not be returned to me anyway due to what looks like a whole lot of hijacking of my equipment and resources (flurries of TCP traffic coming and going, 100% CPU at times, changes to & destruction of OS settings and files, etc). I'm pretty new to the Networking scene and only know some of the basics of Windows, but that is changing - too slowly unfortunately, for the moment at least.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on an HP 15 laptop and can supply any info and logs that you might need to help, which would be very appreciated since I'm kind of overwhelmed here, and I did read the little sticky, that you run your own shop and have a family, and volunteer your time is commendable indeed, and I appreciate that your time is limited.
Having said that, I'm not sure what type of log would be best to post initially, I may have missed it, but if I come across information related to that before receiving a reply I will do whatever and then post it up.
Thanks in advance.
