I ask for help here because EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTION TO DISINFECT MY SYSTEM FOUND ON GOOGLE has been useless, utterly useless.
Summary of my situation 1. A hacker wrote "happiness" at the end of my Google document. 2. I have the 2-step verification turned on, and there was no unusual device in Recent Devices in Google My Account. 3. I suspected a Trojan (RAT) infection. Ran 5 antiviruses (Avast, Comodo, Panda, Avira, Malwarebytes. 4. Comodo found 2 Trojans. Removed them. 5. Reset my router, installed new firmware, and set 16-digit password including numbers, letters, and special characters for both the admin account and router password. 6. Yet the hacker again wrote "tranquility" at the end of my Google document and changed the background color to green. 7. Freaked out, ran the antiviruses. They found nothing. 8. When I deleted Kaspersky Scan, it redirected me to a webpage to install TDSSkiller. A file was downloaded onto my computer. 9. Avira thought it's a Trojan. Removed it. 10. Scanned the entire system with antiviruses and also in safe mode. Reset the router and installed new firmware again. 11. It happened again today.
What hole am I missing? Could it be the DNS hacking? Will switching to Google Public DNS help me?
PLEASE HELP ME Sup Forums i need to write a novel in 2 weeks and i can't write it at ease with this bastard snooping on everything i do on this computer (network)
i am not a tech-savvy person as my every word screams pls help
halp i know this board is not for tech support but you are my last resort also maybe this thread will bring about a bit of discussion
>2. I have the 2-step verification turned on, and there was no unusual device in Recent Devices in Google My Account. 2. I have the 2-step verification turned on (they send me an SMS every time someone tries to sign in. No SMSs so far), and there was no unusual device in Recent Devices in Google My Account. So he does not have control of my Google account. He did this on my computer. fix
Ian Myers
did you check your phone?
Owen Sanchez
Damn if this was real this would be a fun case to solve, but I'm guessing you're just an attention whore P.O.S.
Kayden Moore
start from scratch and reinstall windows.
unlikely to have infection down to firmware
Next time stop installing every shit you find, including all these antiviruses. Keep browser up to date and use commonSense2016.
Evan Martin
Android. Not rooted. Avast Mobile running. No unsual SMS asking me to grant permission to sign into Google. no it is real the deadline is august 8th and i need to finish it before it because i also have college admission things to prepare for. Why do you think i am an attention whore? Why would someone go through all this hassle to whore for attention? do you not feel my pain and anxiety?

latest stock android nexus 6p what if this happens again after i reinstall windows? what route can the hacker use to manage such a feat?
Nolan Brooks
backup documents and files to external hard drive, remove windows, delete google acc, install any linux distro.
Xavier Cook
alright, what about your router
Jack Kelly
by targeting various attack vectors.
for example
- User voluntarily installing shit. - User running code that listens to outside network, which happens to have vulnerabilities. Typically web browsers or out of date OS services. Browser plugins. - User opening files/data streams with programs that have vulnerabilities.
Noah Williams
iptime N1 Plus i don't know if anyone uses this outside Korea
>- User voluntarily installing shit. i am sure i am subject to this. i am not my mom. i am not tech-savvy, not tech-blind >- User running code that listens to outside network, which happens to have vulnerabilities. Typically web browsers or out of date OS services. Browser plugins. i am using up-to-date Chrome with only avast internet security extension added, so i think this is not the case. >- User opening files/data streams with programs that have vulnerabilities. Comodo Cloud Antivirus runs any suspicious program in sandbox... it even put Panda Free Antivirus in sandbox.

Hmm
Time to Install Gentoo!
Brayden Gomez
I presume you meant to type >i am sure i am not subject to this
I doubt that. You are running multiple free antivirus software on your machine already. This is a clear sign of incompetence in that regard.
>Comodo Cloud Antivirus runs any suspicious program in sandbox
I'm sure your antiviruses do what they can. What I was talking about is your trusted applications having vulnerabilities that are exploited by the manufactured data being operated on by the trusted application in question. Yes, antiviruses can also try scan files for these, but not how you explained it.
>Will...
I don't think you know what DNS does.

You should indeed install Gentoo.

Anthony Wilson
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as a hacker, is in fact, a cracker, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, security cracker.
>What hole am I missing? You're using Windows, welcome to the pain in the ass for security professionals. Just go to and go Linux BTW consider your Google account compromised. You MUST start over user. Luckily there's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Takeout to do that with ease, but still, DO consider the possibility that some file could be compromised too. Just like in M$ Office, Google Docs is not inmune to malware macros. Check in script.google.com/ and see if you have something there, unless you code, you won't, so if something shows up there it's not your authorship. Post the content of the scripts here, and delete it afterwards.
>Could it be the DNS hacking? Will switching to Google Public DNS help me? Maybe but it doesn't seem like DNS hijacking, it probably is a Trojan. And no, switching to a botnet isn't the solution. Still here's some info if you want to do something about it: wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Anonymizing_yourself#DNS privacytools.io/#dns
how do i run it? i want to check if they have router backdoor
if they have it, they can still snoop on me even if I install Gentoo, correct?
how to i close router backdoors?
i really want to check. pls give me instructions

>Classic scenario where "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" ideology fails
user, I'm guessing you are got MITM'd really bad. >How? Any of these: -Your wireless network got tapped -Someone planted a (new) keylogger onto your device(s) -Your gf/friend gave your details away -You logged into an unsecure public WiFi
>What you can do? All of these: -Disable autorun on your windows PC -Manually copy all your data and store it into a flash drive. Convert doc to docx or odt (Change formatting) -Disconnect completely, deprecate your google account, change your ISP and reset your router. -Re install your Operating system.
Remember, the mitm has all your info already. Create your new accounts with unique details. Don't use your old phone or email number. Create your new facebook/twitter account. Optionally get a new number.
[ctd.]
Aaron Bell
Analyse your data traffic to check for network tapping. Always keep a mirror backup of your data. Create your own cloud storage if you are really serious. Lastly, only visit trusted websites
Reminder that there are malwares can exploit your host file system. Bidirectional file and clipboard sharing should be handled with caution.
>Protip: You cannot "download" or "install" security
Josiah Jackson
how do i disinfect my router? i think this is the likely culprit
Finally follow this pasta: I believe in security through isolation. Due to the current state of technology you cannot avoid using dangerous closed source software and habits. However It's upto you how seriously you are going to take your security. Although Privacy and Security are correlated, are completely different priority. Sometimes you actually want your privacy to be breached to a certain extent to be secure from malicious attackers. Here are my security advices:
Install GNU/Linux. Have MAC or RBAC enabled. Don't log in as a root. Only install the softwares from your distro's secure repo Use the Grsec kernel with PaX patches. Use uBlock origin. HTTPS everywhere, Disconnect and Decentraleyes. Use a Secure DNS. Never keep yourself logged into anything. If you want to compromise your privacy, enable two phase log in, However please do not link your email IDs as "referential IDs". Just make sure one email ID does not trace back to the other one you got. Use a password manager. Best way is to maintain own encrypted spreadsheet. Never use flash. Install and keep firewall enabled at startup. Keep bluetooth and printer service disabled by default. Never give your windows VM any network access. Do not bank or shop online unless you really have to. NEVER INSTALL YOUR BANK'S APP IN YOUR PHONE. Randomly change all your 16 digit passwords. Use your spreadsheet to keep track of it.
Bye, OP. Good luck

Stop trying to get to the bottom of this. We don't know shit. There are only consunerist whores and weeaboo ricers here. Put your novel on a USB and nuke the system from orbit. With every post you're wasting more time instead finishing whatever shit you're working on.

If the hacker has a router backdoor, can he still snoop on me even if I install Gentoo (or Ubuntu)?
How do I close a router backdoor?
thank you for all your effort to help me. i do appreciate it i hope you go through your life well eternally
Alexander Ramirez
Reset your router, change your ISP. I told you this already
Luke Carter
First of all, reformat windows. If the problem persists do Also stop using google docs you cuck
Xavier Turner
these are troll posts > I speak 4 languages Speaking multiple languages doesn't make you smarter, also we're a community that values its members by their ideas represented within the content of their posts. I could be a phd and say shit or a 14 year old and say gold. Do not adhominem yourself.
>Some people are just not born tech-savvy and they are good at something else Fuck that meme way of thinking, you're not even trying.
James Jenkins
Also, using Linux is not really for less tech savvy person.
Well now you have the same reason as me to run Linux primarily. You can ask me anything, I will try to help
Robert Perez
i reset it multiple times. so i guess changing isp might do the trick
is there any chance my router's firmware (or hardware) or bios could be infected? (i mean infections that are not removed by resetting it)
please forgive even if i sound extremely retarded
Jace Wilson
>we're a community that values its members by their ideas represented within the content of their posts install gentoo
Dylan Campbell
He has remote access you moron!
Easton Rivera
No, the mitm then have to retrace your new default gateway. If the router is compromised it will no longer be a problem.
What I think is either -Your google doc was not private -You got keylogged
Henry Scott
Did you reformat windows? Do that before you change your router
Jeremiah Roberts

>If you think privacy is unimportant for you because you have nothing to hide, you might as well say free speech is unimportant for you because you have nothing useful to say. please give me your mail account access user :^)
Logan Scott
Yea, true hackers bypass them through the system itself and they don't need trojans or keyloggers.
>Well now you have the same reason as me to run Linux primarily. You can ask me anything, I will try to help i actually tried using ubuntu a few months back.. it wasn't too hard to open a command prompt(?) and do jobs.. the only reason i quit is because i could not remove the top bar(unity) and limited video game titles for linux (even if you take into account Wine)
the reason im not installing Gentoo right now is because Wine does not and will not run in the near future Overwatch which is a popular game here. i need it to socialize
the world is imperfect and i just really hate. Bill Gates is a faggot who made an insecure system AND made it popular. faggot faggot. also blizzard is also a bunch of faggots
>-Your google doc was not private it was not. i am not a retard. >-You got keylogged 5 antiviruses found nothing after the initial scan.
Alexander Reed
They need rootkits, new rootkits that are written are written to attack someone will not be in the blacklist of any antivirus' database
Sebastian Morris
hurr let me access and potentially send or delete your mail I'd consider that property Looking through mail without the ability to fuck with it is a different story
Isaac Sanders
This.
Joseph Barnes
rootkit?
Adam Carter
The real one, shitposter faggot
Kayden James
install ubuntu gnome, dual boot
Asher Carter
Okay. So if I install Gentoo,
Will the hacker be unable to see/access my Google docs documents even if he has compromised my Wi-Fi network/router?
If so, I am willing to install Gentoo to be able to finish my manuscript on my laptop.
I can play Overwatch in internet cafes.
Carson Barnes
>Looking through mail Post screenshots of every formal email you got
Sebastian Price
That is like asking to be given the authority to look through my actual mail, potentially destroy messages, or send them in my name That is a different matter than just looking through them Also >having a google id and password

>it was not. i am not a retard. Dude he is using your pc remotley so he is in your computer and doesn't even need to sign in, that's why you can see him signing in from other location YOU FUCKING MORON!

Charles Morgan
High school assignment to write a novel lol
Aiden Roberts
Are you using the same password on multiple accounts? Laziness will get you every time.
Tyler Morgan
Stop using google docs If you don't want to spend time compiling your own kernel then I wouldn't install gentoo
Cooper Gomez
Are you brain damaged or something? All the other posts you quoted are EXACTLY what I was taking about: nuking from orbit and starting fresh with lolinux. Those aren't solutions. Nobody has the slightest idea on how to actually fix OPs system.
Ryan Martin
Dude, Gentoo is a very hard distro to deal with. It became a meme because it's hard to install.
Start with ubuntu.
Your router is not compromised, otherwise you'd get disconnected by him/them.

Daniel Cruz
>Will the hacker be unable to see/access my Google docs documents even if he has compromised my Wi-Fi network/router? Nope, but if your router is really compromised either the cracker is in some UTC+6 like ukraine sleeping right now. Check your google account access records and if they've always been from the same origin IP (your house) then you do have a trojan or rootkit shit in your PC. If not, then the attacker does have your credentials (and can potentially do other shit).
Why don't you just use LibreOffice or something offline. That's literally the best way to secure your documents, to edit them offline.
