As long as you're not infected, you're in a good position. In short, as long as you don't download the problem program or screenshot, then you're fine. It's not an automatic downloading thing by the looks of it unless you have your browser set to automatically downloading anything.
I changed my password and runned a full system scan. I can access my account stilland I downloaded it. Does that mean I am safe? @BasedBlake *EDIT I downloaded the item on my laptop and the antivirus picked up on it and resolved it is what it looks like.
If you downloaded it on an windows operating system, the scan should have detected something. The point of these viruses is to do the opposite of deny you service, it's to sit behind and sniff out your information. Also, I haven't clicked the link but it sounds like the typical "brings you to a page and uploads automatically". If you were to exit out before finishing you will be fine. There are ways to prevent this by running an error screen that prevents you from closing out but this doesn't seem the case.
Like what processes should I be looking for that might be out of the ordinary? Since it is the same link is it the same process? @BasedBlake
Anything abnormal, or using high memory. Most of the time it's going to have a typical name for example, imagesharer.exe not 420blazeitl337hacker.exe Basically, it's his link between your two computers via your network.
Okay I have none with a high memory. Is Antimalware Service Executable a good thing or no? *EDIT*: Not dangerous but pretty much useless. :/
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/AntiMalware-25278.html http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/antimalwareexe No, definitely not good. Right click it, open file location, hard delete the entire thing.
It has been on my computer since the very beginning are you sure? It does not have the .exe at the end that is the full name. EDIT: When added to "Open in Details" It ends in .exe
That's windows defender, I didn't think the background process was named antimalware.exe, are you able to screenshot your processes?
Yeah, don't delete it! And that's windows preventing you from making a mistake, not a virus. It sounded like a typical malware process name thats why I encouraged you to do it quick. Don't know why they don't rename it something along windows, beats me. Also, could you screenshot your processes?
