AARRRGGG... please smack me over the head with some wisdom...
Earlier today, I loaded a CD into my CD drive that I haven't seen in ages. My computer started acting strangely and I ejected the CD.When my virus scanner ran tonight, it picked up several instances of keylogger95 as well as something that couldn't have come from that CD. (My scanner hasn't scanned in a few weeks, so I'm not sure how long I've had a problem.)
Needless to say, I've been freaking out... changing passwords all over the place, etc.
chkrootkit isn't picking up anything on my servers, so that is good. I did find create-cracklib-dict, not remembering what it was. That scared me for a few seconds.
I really, really hope I've learned my lesson without any real damage.
Do I even need to be worried about keylogger95 on a 98 windows system with a dynamically assigned IP?
Can anyone recommend good personal firewall software for a win98 machine so I know what is being sent out? I'd love a freeware recommendation so I can do it now. I'll also pay for better software in a few weeks if the value is there, so I'd like some advice on that also.
Home PC will be Linux in the next few months, but I'll still need some solutions for my current win98 setup. Any help is appreciated.
