keylogger recording Windows 7 login password

[Odessa]

Hello,

Can a hidden keylogger script  (using PowerShell)  detect and record login password from a cell phone keyboard via a remote software like Chrome remote desktop ? If yes, what would be the commands to track down the script in PowerShell 7 x64 since Malwarebytes  or MSERT are not able to detect modified or script created keylogger malware ? A classic hacker example : modifying the name of Mimikatz and other minor changes to the script in order to evade detection all the while preserving its function to steal credentials. I, of course, want to avoid reinstalling Win 7  if I can track down and delete the script that's recording my keystrokes...

I can confirm that my pc has been hacked by some clown that had physical access to it and so I'm looking  for a solution via PowerShell 7 x64 to sniff out this hidden script.

Hello @Odessa

You'd need to scan for malware and then also run a scan that tries to show everything that is running on the system.

 

Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.
Temporarily disable your antivirus or other security software first. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download software below if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
If you still have trouble downloading the software please click on Reveal Hidden Contents below for examples of how to allow the download.

When downloading with some browsers you may see a different style of screens that may block FRST from downloading. The program is safe and used hundreds of times a week by many users.

Example of Microsoft Edge blocking the download

 

STEP 01

• If you already have Malwarebytes installed then open Malwarebytes and click on the Scan button. It will automatically check for updates and run a Threat Scan.
• If you don't have Malwarebytes installed yet please download it from here and install it.
• Once installed then open Malwarebytes and select Scan and let it run.
• Once the scan is completed make sure you have it quarantine any detections it finds.
• If no detections were found click on the Save results drop-down, then the Export to TXT  button, and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find and attach that log on your next reply.
• If there were detections then once the quarantine has completed click on the View report button, Then click the Export drop-down, then the Export to TXT  button, and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find and attach that log on your next reply.
• If the computer restarted to quarantine you can access the logs from the Detection History, then the History tab. Highlight the most recent scan and double-click to open it. Then click the Export drop-down, then the Export to TXT  button, and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find and attach that log on your next reply.
• If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know in your next reply that the scanner would not run.

STEP 02

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.

• Double-click to run the program
• Accept the End User License Agreement.
• Wait until the database is updated.
• Click Scan Now.
• When finished, if items are found please click Quarantine.
• Your PC should reboot now if any items were found.
• After reboot, a log file will be opened. Attach or Copy its content into your next reply.

RESTART THE COMPUTER Before running Step 3

STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press the Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here each time
• Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well.
• On your next reply, you should be attaching frst.txt and additions.txt to your post, every time.

 

Thanks

@Odessa

Something appears to have happened during your last session that prevented the logs from uploading correctly. Please try to attach them again now.

Thank you

Looks like FRST that you suggested in step 3 did some magic; soon after the scan I was no longer getting lagging in my key strokes on a Windows app I use regularly to save files to my HDD , which the lag coincided shortly after I became aware my pc had been hacked (among other performance irregularities which also ceased).

So thanks for your help.

Well, we'd like to get back the logs to see if anything else is there that needs to be removed @Odessa

If you can repost the logs that would be great

Thanks
