I have found a Backdoor after downloading MB and ran a full scan. I have Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security anti virus program and do not know if that is what Malwarebytes just picked up. I do however believe that there is a Fake Flashplayer in my Google Browser

BACKDOOR WARNING

One or more of the identified infections is known to use a backdoor.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files.

I would advice you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the infection has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

We can still clean this machine but I can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards. Let me know what you decide to do. If you decide to go through with the cleanup, please let me know.

I posted in the wrong site, sorry . I have no Idea how to delete that . I wanted to know if Major Geek is Official download site? I do not remember seeing that on my first download before Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security forced me to remove Malwarebytes. I see no instruction on how to allow the Titanium version to accept Malwarebytes I am thinking about making a purchase, and need to know . But most of all I need to be able to use the forum correctly and I recently had eye surgery

Ok , so I am doomed again. Should I remove all my information off facebook before I do disconnect. I just downloaded Malwarebytes and followed these instructions and now I am thinking I should remove as much as possible.

Okay , I have purchased the Pro Version , and will go and change the Facebook password, they notified me that they thought I was compromised and locked it so I can not remove photos . I had one under my maiden name and had no problem canceling it or removing photos . Not sure if they did as I asked and canceled that account

Ok I am a paying customer but it will not take the email address the purchase was made in because I was a former owner of malwarebytes on the email address but have not used that in years and it was a much older version. I don't know how to fix this . Also I would like to know how long it takes to get the CD for Malwarebyet in the mail ?

I do not have this XP set up to send e-mail via outlook , I only have web mail. This computer ( My XP Pro) had not been used for over a year now and I had a new mother board put in yesterday and today I ran Malwarebytes and it has the same hack as the laptop. The laptop is the one I made the purchase on

Well I am baffelled , so I will use this , whonew , for my XP Pro and whonew2 for the laptop after I get it back but I am not being allowed to get rid of facebook , yahoo email , hotmail and those passwords were changed but if this ( The XP Pro ) had been infected over a year ago then I have double the problems. I didn't think this was infected, it had not been being used. I have just had a new mother board and turned it on, ran Malwarebyes and found this desktop is also is hacked by the same as the laptop. So now I have to take this in and have it cleaned also and I am going broke lol due to hackers .
