Several intrusions detected

[REDACTED]

This is probably nothing. But it's not my machine and I don't have enough access to it to check further into how the computer is acting or what might have caused them. My brother described it as happening when he was using skype, but I can't access his skype either. I think everything is fine, but I can't really be sure. 

Anyway, my brother has managed to get some pretty nasty infections on his computers before, despite all the protection I have set up, so I didn't feel like leaving it be without getting some logs from him.

Hi he has both CIS and Avast on the system so there are two antivirus programmes running

Thanks I'll try to get to it when I can.

However I would like to point out that Comodo is set up as a firewall, the antivirus is not installed.

[REDACTED]

Okay I got to it sooner than I thought I would. Also is it normal for all the browsing history to have been deleted during this process? Just wondering.

[essexboy]

Yes, all temp files are deleted to ensure that any malware cannot relaunch.  History will also be cleaned as again there may be a bad site in there. 

What problems does he have at the moment

[REDACTED]

Sorry for not responding sooner. According to him there's nothing happening now that he can notice. He also talked like Skype had been lagging when he typed before, which has also stopped. Not sure if that was related but it's fine now I guess.

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix




: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select  Remove Java Runtime.  Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version



Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme 

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
