I noticed a visited site in my history that I know I hadn't visited.
www.numbclan.com. When I looked at the pages visited at the site it showed
urls that included what looked like keylogging of my sign in name and
password for ebay and my email ( using outlook express). I've run spybot,
norton antivirus,microsoft antispyware,and adaware and though they've found
some other things the behavior that I'm going to describe hasn't changed.
I've run them in safe mode after disabling system restore. The following is
what has also happened:
When I went to block the site numbclan.com I got an alert from Microsoft
antispyware that there was an attempt to block a trusted site. when I went to
the trusted site zone I was unable to access it. It's not an active choice.
I was able to block the site by activating Content Advisor and including the
site www.numbclan.com in it. Now I get an alert from content advisor every
time it attempts to access the internet.
Though I feel comfortable that I've stopped my passwords from being sent
over the internet I want to get rid of whatever it is and have control of my
computer options again.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm prepared to reinstall IE in case some
of the files are corrupt or the registry is messed up with all the scans etc,
but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that with IE 6 while running winxp
sp2.
Do I really need to reformat and reinstall the whole OS? I'm not sure if
this is a new trojan, virus/browser hijacker but it's driving me nuts and I'm
not sure I can wait for a techie to discover it and write a fix.
Any help would be appreciated.
