| Guest | A possible hack My computer was recently hacked and I had it reformatted. But, recently I have notice numerous process running that are easting up system resources and I am denied access when I attempt to stop them. I am currently running windows vista. The programs that concern me are svchost.exe and internet explorer. There is an instance of internet explorer that constantly runs and uses 45,000k of ram. I am unable to shut it down. There are also 9 windows host process servers (svchost.exe) that have been running. At first these things did not concern me but recently I installed a firewall that has repeatedly notified me that these two programs are attempting to send and receive information from many different ip addresses across a range of ports in the 45000's. Even when the computer is idle they will attempt to contect 10 or more times a day. The IP addresses that have been blocked belong to google.com in Ann Arbor. The location is of major concern to me as the person that I believed hacked me before was a University of Michigan student living in Ann Arbor. How can I determine if my computer has been hacked? |
