Help - Address Book Contents Deleted - Virus ????

Unread postby Angry Kid » July 3rd, 2008, 5:52 pm

Good evening,

I have just been speaking with a work colleague and she has been made aware that her email address has sent out emails to everyone within her address book and then deleted the entire contents.

This email was not sent by her. the content of the email was recommending people to click two links for discounts etc. These links and the style of writing suggest that the origin may be chinese.

She has scanned with Spybot and is in the process of running A2. Her Anti Virus (AVG 8.0) is up to date and is also scanning.

The firewall is Zone Alarm (7.0.408.000) and requires updating to the latest version. I have also suggested that she runs SuperAntispyware.

To add to her woes, she has recently suffered debit card fraud for purchases over the internet. However, she has been reimbursed through insurance.

As you can imagine this has left her and her family quite twitchy over the security of her pc.

Is anyone able to shed any light on this from a similar experience or is aware of a specific program to ensure her pc is cleaned?

At present I am unable to run HJT as I do not have access to her pc. However, I have not had the need to run this program before so would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks

Angry ;-)

This topic is now closed.

We're sorry you have not received a response to your topic. This is most likely because you have replied to your own topic prior to receiving a response from a helper. Our helpers are looking for topics with zero responses. When you post replies to your own topic, it no longer has zero responses, and so it appears that you have received help when in fact, you have not.

If help is still needed, a new topic should be opened in the Malware Removal forum. Do not post replies in that new topic until you have received a response from a helper.

NOTE: It should be noted that in order to receive the most effective help, the owner of the system should be starting their own topic. We close topics that have a lack of activity for five days. Often, topics that are started by people who do not have ready access to the computer fall into that category. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you advise your colleague to start her own topic.

Thank you for your cooperation.
