Hello,
Apparently I recently got one of those facebook viruses that makes me spam my friends with annoying messages. Not really sure how that happened, but it prompted me to go virus hunting.
I found a group of suspicious .exe's in my C:Windows directory,
sed.exe
fdsv.exe
zip.exe
grep.exe
NIRCMD.exe
swreg.exe
vfind.exe
And there may actually have been one or two more, all had been 'modified' on a date well before the creation of this computer (year 2000). I just deleted them all, but afterwards did a google search and someone mentioned they are rootkits? Not really sure what a rootkit actually is to be honest so I'm not sure if just deleting them was sufficient?
And I have no idea if they were related to my facebook virus? I can't really seem to find much info on these guys anywhere, does anyone know what they are?
I'm attaching my hijack this, malware bytes, and superantispyware logs.
Thanks!
