Backdoor Subseven
All, As soon as I bought my latest computer I got Norton Antivirus, Spybot, Adaware and a Norton Firewall. I made the big mistake of installing the original version of Kazaa. I started getting those stupid Pop ups every 2 minutes when connected to the Internet. Uninstalled Kazaa, and put on Kazaa Lite which doesnt have all the ads and spyware. However, Still got lots of pop ups, but the firewall stopped them. I am told that they leave a program on your computer that sends out information to whoever created these programs, and therefore rely on being allowed to communicate, and I understand this is how the firewall stopped them. I also got alerts everday that the backdoor subseven trojan was trying to breach the firewall, and thought that these were just false alarms, so thought nothing of them.
Today I was trying to set up a wirelss network in my house. I bought a wireless hub which has a built in router. I noticed that when I had not got the cable connected to the router that the lights on the modem(Indicating traffic) was flashing away, indicating to me that these trojans are still trying to get out. I update my virus every couple of days, so am wondering what I should do? Thanks in advance.
P.S You''ll have to bare with me. Although able to use acomputer reasonably well, having had a look around in here I realize that I am still a novice and that I may have left some info out of this question.
