I've been infected by a RAT; I keep disconnecting & more...

Sup guys,

around 1 month ago I downloaded an .exe file (I don't know anymore which file it was) but anyway, when I opened it the fellowing screen popped up:



Days went on, and I really was in panic because I thought the RAT would kinda destroy my PC and change all my passwords. From the moment I saw the "HACKER" screen popping up, I definitely knew it was a harmful RAT which could control my PC and change my passwords and such.

Things went normal for a couple of days... But after a week or so I actually wanted to hit the emergency button! My computer went crazy lol! Starting up my PC actually took around 3 minutes... before the start up took like a couple of seconds... Loading games also takes an awful amount of minutes... I guess around 5 minutes, before it actually took a couple of seconds...

The second problem (in my opinion the worst one) is that everything keeps disconnecting... everything! Msn, Skype or any online game you could imagine. It basically just keeps disconnecting. I can't even use MSN, SKYPE or play a game for more then 5 minutes... why not? because it keeps disconnecting...

Also my pc is being really really slow... I truefully hope someone can help me, because problems are getting more worse every single day... I hope one day my pc will be as former times... when I could play any game without starting it up very slow, without disconnecting, without lagg... when I could use Msn or Skype without disconnecting...

Thanks for reading guys,

Marley.

Hi Marley15,

Welcome to the forum.

My nickname is deltalima and I will be helping you with your computer problems.

The logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.


Please note the following:

• I will be working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
• The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
• Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
• If after 3 days you have not responded to this topic, it will be closed, and you will need to start a new one.
• It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
• If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
• Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Please Note:
The programs I ask you to run need to be run in Administrator Mode by... Right clicking the program file and selecting: Run as Administrator.
Additionally, the built-in User Account Control (UAC) utility, if enabled, may prompt you for permission to run the program.
When prompted, please select: Allow. Reference: User Account Control (UAC) and Running as Administrator
