Unplug from the internet and wipe your harddrive(s). Then reinstall OS and tell the installer to do the same.

Tech Gaf,

I got a call from my wife saying she was watching the mouse move on the computer and opening bank accounts and investment accounts in the browser. She was not touching the PC. She thought I had remote desktop in to the PC, but that is impossible on my work machine.

What tools would you recommend I run to find the malicious remote desktop SW. I also had her turn off the PC for now.

Any suggestions appreciated, jokes welcome too.

First thing is nuke the connection. Pull the cord, pull the ethernet cable/wi-fi.

Then, being all offline, start changing every password in other secure devices. Block or cancel what needs to be cancelled, etc.

Once everything is done and secure, depending how compromised I am, I would then fire on the compromised device again OFFLINE and I would either nuke the OS and start fresh(after back-up of important shit which you should always have in at least 2 off device places so you can nuke shit easily), or nuke the OS and compromised accounts. Wouldn't be the first time I've made a new email and went through the hassle of changing everything.

Format your hard drive. Reinstall your OS. If your motherboard got infected then you're fucked, but that is rare.

Also, if you think a scan would solve anything and always you're coping. I was a script kiddie once and used a virus I purchased that was undetectable at the time by almost all antivirus software. I was 12 at the time and did weird shit like spying on my parents and other things I would rather not talk about.

They are still selling undetectable trojans/keyloggers on hacker forums. Let that sink in.
