"QUIT" instead of "SKIP" for optional components (adware), etc. I'd like to note however, that process on this was more convoluted than on most - like they weren't just trying to get the ones who just clicked next, but rather like they were actually trying to be deceptive with their wording and such. I noticed it had a significant amount of adwares it tried to download, but I've always looked at that as an idiot-tax (if you don't read the instructions/fine print and just click next then you deserve what you get) so I always avoid the idiot tax by paying careful attention and as I said previously, uncheck all the spywares and partner options. bin file so I researched and installed IZArc. * For some reason, MagicISO wouln't decompress a. I installed and tested FrostWire and subsequently removed it, because it was seriously lacking for my purposes. * I've used Shareaza for P2P for years, but due to recent sluggish performance I investigated other clients. Within the last 2 weeks I can identify several freewares that I have downloaded:
I ALWAYS uncheck any toolbars or partner softwares and also any "product improvement" participation options.

I'm aware that sometime freeware is supported by adware piggybacked on and I ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION to any toolbars or "partner" software it wants to install. Needless to say I am VERY THOROUGH in my research. I do a significant amount of due diligence reading reviews of the product, then researching the credibility of the site that published the review, then searching for what users are saying about similar softwares, etc.

I'm not sure what else I might be doing wrong? Perhaps what I used to do in the past that worked is not sufficient for the new ITW viruses and malware methods?ģ) Freeware - I'm a strong believer in open source, so I do download a lot of free softwares.

At this point, I've already changed my email password, so the only way I can think they would have gotten access to my account are these:ġ) Facebook Games - nope - I don't allow or install or participate in facebook games or apps.Ģ) Clicking on a suspicious email - maybe, but I consistently delete without reading, and never click on links, suspicious emails including ones with no header, adult content, foreign characters (it'd be nice if Yahoo could figure out how to filter emails with kanji in the title and send it to spam for me! - I did some cursory research into matching kanji/hirigana to ASCII characters, but didn't find any clear answers), and "Spanish Prisoner" please. Moving on then, we forward to about 2 weeks ago when out of the blue the mass spamming from my email account starts up again. Perhaps real-time malware protection WAS ALWAYS A PREMIUM OPTION? OTOH, the fact that I'm frustrated and upset from chasing this for over a week now on my only computer may be clouding my memory. But, ever since some profit-seeking corporation bought MBAM and converted to a pay-model, it seems like the converted once free functionality (like real-time protection) to a premium option.
I'm aware of security issues as a developer and rarely get infected because I have SE and MalwareBytes. Everything seemed fine.įor the record, I wasn't ever able to identify what freeware/website/email was the actual trojan that opened the door for the baddies. I concluded at the that point that all the malware was gone and then proceeded to change my YMail password. I selected to removed the offenders in both programs, rebooted, re-scanned - nothing found. To my recollection, between MBAM and SE they found 2-3 malicious softwares (sorry, don't remember what it was). I immediately ran MalWareBytes and a scan with MS Security Essentials (after successfully updating, of course). Upon logging in to my YMail, I discovered that several contacts had been messaged from my account. The first sign of problems was when a coworker at work complained that my yahoo account had sent him some spam. I'm a web developer and my laptop started experiencing strange symptoms, originally in November 2012 (3 months ago). Many of us would be completely lost without your guidance! First of all, I'd like to thank all the volunteers on this forum who offer technical assistance.
