Computer Security & Viruses/Can someone use Skype to hack into my computer?
Expert: Brian Benosky - 2/1/2009
QuestionQUESTION: Hi,
This morning, I wanted to copy and paste something into notepad, and, as happens, I forgot to copy first, so the last thing copied there was pasted - it was the url of a site that had a very Adult-content sound to it.
I am the only one who uses this computer, and I know I never copied such a link, never visit such sites, etc.
I have both IE7 and FF installed on my computer. On most occasions, I only use FF (I use IE mostly to test my html/php code for work).
On the alert, I went to check the history in FF - was filled with my regulars, nothing unusual. But then I checked in IE - and found a list of porn sites there... I know it's not from popups, because, like I said, I rarely use IE, and had not used it for awhile when I found this list of visited sites. I thought maybe it was malware - but I ran a scan using MalwareBytes anti-malware, and also Symantec Anti-Virus and it found nothing.
I noticed that some of the listed sites had to do with Skype (which runs continuously on my computer) - Skype video sharing, etc. My security level on skype is very high - I only allow contacts on my list to contact me, etc.
And now, I just recieved a contact request from skype from someone with a very porn-sounding name asking to share contact details with me. It is all very suspicious. I have never used Skype other than to talk to family members overseas, and I never clicked on any invitations or other funny-looking pop-ups (which I have gotten, I just close them). Is it possible that someone has been hacking into my computer through Skype?
Thanks for your help, this is really confusing me.
As per your instructions, I installed HijackThis, here is the log:

ANSWER: Hi Esther
Your HJT log is not formatted properly, and is difficult to read. Entries such as:
C:WINDOWSSystem32smss.exe
C:WINDOWSsystem32winlogon.exe
C:WINDOWSsystem32services.exe
should look like:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
Please rescan with HJT, then when notepad pops up, check the entries. If the format is not correct, click Format at the top, and check WordWrap. Copy that file to me, and also if you still have the Malwarebytes log, that would be helpful as well.

Thank you very much for helping me with this!
AnswerHi Esther
I believe your concerns over the security of Skype are warranted, however, there is nothing currently running on your system which qualifies as malware. I suggest blocking the ports that Skype uses in order to stop the traffic from going through your PC. There are two articles which you should read below. The first deals with security concerns of Skype, and the second tells you how to go about blocking it when you don't use it. There are also good links on the site for reading further. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Good luck.
