Hacked?! HOW?!

Ok here's the deal, someone posted a very convincing youtube link here earlier. Turned out to not be youtube but a trojan. I accidentally got the trojan on computer but promptly deleted it.
I did NOT. Go on rs after getting this trojan

How is it they got my password if i never entered it

 

Use an antivirus always (kaspersky/nod).

 

cookies my friend ssaves all passwords in it^^

 

Effin' ay... Thank god for bank pin saving my 200m, i only lost about 10m..

 

I clicked on the same link you're talking about and had no trouble with trojans. It was a java drive-by, so you would've had to click "Accept" for it to have infected you. If you removed it before you entered anything in then I'm as confused as you are.

They haven't done anything to my maxed main with 1.3B+ lol.

 

yeah i did click accept... i did remove it before i entered anything, im going to go with the cookie theory

 

Scan your computer in SAFEMODE with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware..
It will delete the trojan + all other viruses.

And yea, he got it via cookies, and your documents.

 

What was the link about? I don't know if i clicked it or not, but if it wsa a java drive by then i dont think i did.

 

Why safe mode?

 

Make sure, clean your computer for viruses etc.

 

you should report the member

 

It means that only the bare minimum of programs will run, so the infection won't have a chance to screw with the virus scan or do anything else to stop you finding and deleting it.

 

Well i never let java onto my cmputer so i'm safe, but i'm just wondering what the video was about.

 

Safe Mode is a special way for Windows to load when there is a system-critical problem that interferes with the normal operation of Windows. The purpose of Safe Mode is to allow you to troubleshoot Windows and try to determine what is causing it to not function correctly. Once you have corrected the problem, then you can reboot and Windows will load normally.

There are several things that happen when Windows boots in Safe Mode that differ from a standard boot:
* Safe Mode does not run the autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
* Most device drivers are not loaded. A device driver is the software that Windows uses to interact with a piece of hardware, such as a printer or scanner.
* Instead of the normal graphics device driver, Safe Mode uses standard VGA graphics mode. This mode is supported by all Windows-compatible video cards.
* Himem.sys, which is normally loaded as part of the config.sys script, is loaded with the /testmemn switch. This switch tells the computer to test the extended memory before continuing.
* Safe Mode checks the msdos.sys file for information on where to find the rest of the Windows files. If it finds the files, it proceeds to load Windows in Safe Mode with the command win /d:m. If it does not find the Windows files, it will run command.com to bring up a C: prompt.
* Windows boots using a batch file called system.cb instead of the standard system.ini file. This file loads the Virtual Device Drivers (VxDs) that Windows uses to communicate with the standard parts of the computer.
* Windows now loads the regular system.ini file plus win.ini and Registry settings. It skips the [Boot] (except for the shell and device lines) and [386Enh] sections of system.ini and does not load or run any programs listed in win.ini.
* The Windows desktop loads up in 16 colors and at a resolution of 640 x 480 with the words "Safe Mode" in each corner.

Safe Mode starts up automatically if Windows does not boot on the previous attempt. You can also invoke Safe Mode by pressing F5 or by pressing F8 and selecting it from the boot menu.

It basically only runs the programs your computer NEEDS to run.
Thus, NOT running the virus on startup, which is what all viruses do.
