Need Security Help

[Lumpjaw]

Greetings,

I have a reason to believe my work computer has been compromised, i.e.
stealth software installed. Does anyone know of a good mechanisim to detect
hidden spy programs outside of adaware and spybot. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, then flatten and rebuild it. Hey, you're abusing Outlook Express as a
newsreader, what else do you need to see that your system is an open
invitation to crap?

Yes: about any, since these programs are useless.

Serious ones include verifying the integrity of all files, which is
something typically carried out by sha1sum, sort, uniq and xargs.


BTW, what about a fup2?

Surely it couldn't be that his work computer is actually his employer's

Insufficient information to come to that conclusion but, it is a distinct possibility.
