Hijacked?
Hi folks,
any help or advise on the follwing.

Was using my pc as normal yesteday, when my virus checker suddenly advised that I had trojans all over the place!

I did a scan, and it identified various problems, one of which required a re boot. I then found that while on my desk top, I was receiving some sort of radio program! The next shock came when I tried to log on to my digital on line banking. While it looked like my banks normal log on screen, I was asked for a lot more info than normal, IE full password, security number, PIN etc. I did not enter any such info, I'm not that stupid.

I subsequently logged on to my bank from work, all normal. I have of course informed my bank, who stopped access. There is an additional anti fraud program which is used with my on line banking-this has been stopped. When I tried to do a windows XP restore to an earlier date, it said no restore dates available.

I use the security suite ESET (NOD32) Lava soft AD-AWARE, and computer care (sorry can't remember the correct name-black background, blue graphics-checks loads of different things and very fast).

Do I need to reformat my HD? or should I run a program such as evidence eliminator to write 1's and 0's all over the drive?

Any help appreciated. I am NOT using that PC, but sending this from my work computer!

Any advice or help much appreciated.

Kind regards

Please include the info you've given here in your new thread. Please also be patient as there are too few experts to give instant replies.
