Edited by: Aitrus on 14/07/2005 21:47:05 If you've been rooted, the best bet is to do a clean format. The comp is compromised and you can't trust it until you do.
Hardware firewall (router) Software firewall Anti-Virus
Using an alternate browser is a good idea (I recommend Firefox)
If you can, download the redistributable version of Service Pack 2 before formatting. get it on disk, unplug your internet and clean install windows. immediately apply SP2 before giving the comp an internet connection. The built in firewall isn't the best, but it's better than nothing and you won't be vulnerable to older worms.
EDIT: I have two physical drives in my comp. One is only for Windows and program installation, the other is for all data and backups. This means I can reinstall anytime I want without losing anything.

If you have a DVD-R at hand (they cost almost nothing now, you can get a good bulk packaged one for the cost of a game, and they are quite nice to have) I think it would be pretty safe burning most of the files you want to save. At least with media files and non self-extracting archives, just make sure to scan all archives before unpacking them. Executables like installers should be pretty safe as well, but again, scan everything before copying back to the fresh install.
Also, don't rely on a single AV package, there are good free options that don't require installs and so won't interfere with your main program, for example Panda's online ActiveScan (one of the few things I use that require IE), and MicroWorld Antivirus Toolkit. Using those regularly in addition to your normal daily scans should increase the chance of malware being detected.

Considering this happened to you oog for in game reasons, I would petition this. I dont know how this works exactly, but I am pretty sure the people who did this are going to be banned.
Maybe they can help you too. ------

doubt they will ever find who it was and even if they do, dont you think the person in question would get even more enraged if he got banned?

I'm running a NETGEAR router with a hardware firewall backed up by ZoneAlarm Firewall.
That stops anyone passively invading but only you can control and virus-check the files you download and open.
I seriously doubt it was anyone in Eve.

Sad news kessah
Try this freeware and see if it can find anything.
I would suggest to use an all-in-one package from Symantec or McAfee if you want to spend some money on security. And reformatting the HD and a clean install would also be a good thing to do in this case. Another option is to get a second HD do a clean install there and scan the infected drive.

Format a floppy disk with "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" option enabled, then reboot from it and do it the old way? ^^;;
think the winXP install allows you to format the partitions, too... but not sure, been a while.

ZoneAlarm (its also free) works fine for me, never had my PC hacked before.
Also behind a Belkin router.

I prefer Sygate personal firewall. It has alot more functionality. (I.E. Specifying ports for programs, etc) ZoneAlarm works great, there are just some things I couldn't do with it.

This kind of thing has happened me a million times mate and i dont condone hacking. I didnt laugh at your grief. What i found slightly amusing was the fact that you were very upset, and now probably knew how those guys in the mining barges felt when you killed them.
Im not comparing the acts im merely comparing the emotions they arouse and the wonderful irony. And again, im not condoning hacking in any way. ______________________

mate its in game, if people get so wound up by this then dont play online games. It seriously is a maturity thing
Being hacked and nearly losing all my of my data isnt nearly on the same page as emotions go.
I suggest u rethink what u wrote. Games are ment to be fun when u die, u die, take it like a man and u move on. In this world you learn from that and you become a better person.
Ive learnt that your comment is unwarrented and you didnt need to tell us of your amusment, you probably did it for attention or to invoke an LOL from someone.
Well all i can say is learn to think before you speak hopefully thats something you learned here.
As for everyone else im very happy and appreciative that there was constructive help and you all took the time to write out what i should do. Helping others in a situation like this shows good community. I will gladly help anyone that has been in trouble with out of game mechanics from bad losers.
Thankyou all for your help. --------------------------------------------------------

Yes i constantly crave attention and cheap laughs from complete strangers on the internet. Looks like im the only one doing the "think first then write" routine.
As far as emotions go, people get emotional over different things. Personally i cant see how anyone would get emotional over either of the two. After all, in both instances all that was lost was time and theres plenty of that. ______________________

If you dont know how to fix something like this without asking a bunch of random strangers on an internet forum, you need to pay a professional to reformat and reload all of your files.
You wouldnt come on here asking how to replace your brake pads, would you?
