Today I was in a Zoom call, right after it ended I got distracted for a couple seconds just to see that someone was browsing on my pc trying to get into my Paypal and bank account, as soon as I saw it I shut off the computer, then proceded to turn it on and scan for viruses. I’m pretty sure the scanner found the trojan I was looking for and so I deleted it, we’re talking about NetSupport RAT. So now I have a couple of questions: he didn’t get anything done (as far as I know) cause his action lasted for about 30 seconds at maximum, how much do I have to worry now? Is it possible that he was monitoring my screen before he took control over it? It seems such a strange coincidence that right after I get distracted after a Zoom call he enters (my camera was on too). Is eradicating the trojan enough? Is there something else I should look for to make sure they do not have access anymore? I used the pc throughout the day without encuntering anymore issues.
Reinstall Windows.
Absolutely not worth it one bit risking it. Sadly I’ve seen this happen to people and they get royally screwed up. Hope you get sorted bud.
Do you mean they don’t reinstall and info gets stolen?
It’s a high probability.
The virus scanner might have found it, but a reinstall will mean it’s deffo gone. Sleep easier then and can happily reset any passwords etc.
