possible spyware
« on: January 31, 2007, 06:40:27 PM »
I had just logged onto ui.worldofwar.net and it was taking it's time after a while F-Secure popped up asking me if i trusted an application ntdr.exe and do i want it to access the internet. obvious answer hell no i don't trust it since it was just downloaded possible keylogger? dunno but i'm running a full system scan to check that it's all clear before i log on again.

EDIT: i've done a google search and the one common thing that keeps coming up is a something about Hijackers. so my guess that this is a Hijacker program. i don't know much on Hijackers but they can't be good.

EDIT: Definately a Hijacker. from what i've read people who have had their internet browsers hijacked no longer had this process in the log when they had sorted out the problem. just be careful if you're going on Ui.worldofwar.net for a while. i'm going to see if i can inform the admin to the site so that they can ammend this problem.

usually a browser hijacker, get Spybot installed, updated and run a full scan.
