WINVNC ABUSE

by yogi7 . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

Hello my name is jeff, I work for a non-profit organization in Hawaii. we recently installed a RAS server, and it worked fine for a couple of weeks, now it no longer works cannot even access the internet and cannot use the programs on the server, When I did a shut down to safe mode, and reboot, I saw WINVNC pop up with contol of mouse pointer and keyboard clicked, I unclicked them and got a warning message that connections would not be accepted, this is the Problem, this program was never installed by me or anyone else in our organization, Some hacker has basically hi-jacked our ras server, I have disconnected the modem and ether net cable so it is no longer accessible (I think), what I would really appreciate is if you can give me any ideas for combatting this situation. I plan to fdisk, reformat, reinstall, add most recent anti-virus and firewall. Will the Fdisk and reinstall help me remove the program from our RAS server? Also we have a dynamic IP address — so I think that willhelp us also. Please if there is any information, or suggestions you could provide we (at our organization would deeply appreciate it.

Thanks – JC
