Possible compromise or infection of PC

[Martimius]

Hey there,

 

Last September 12th I had an instance of remote access to my computer (i.e. there were clicks to open various tabs, and the attacker could even type text in Windows Search). I never installed TeamViewer, nor did I ever enable Remote Desktop in Windows, so I assumed that this was due to a backdoor/Trojan/malware installed in my system. I scanned my PC with Malwarebytes AntiMalware Free but nothing showed up. I tried with Spybot Search and Destroy, Emsisoft AntiMalware, Avast, Zemana, and more. I removed all the threats that they scanned which I checked weren't false positives. Although I haven't experienced any symptoms until now, I want to make sure that my PC is safe and secure. My FarBar logs are attached so please see what you can do. 

 

Thanks

Thanks for the logs, if no remaining issues or concerns run the following to clean up...

 

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

"Delfix link mirror"

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:

• 
     
• Remove disinfection tools
     
• Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created.
     
• Reset system settings
  

Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…
