Hidden process- Cannot be detected and is stealthy -

There seems to be a hidden process on my computer with no name at all

No matter what tools i use....Rootkit unhooker or hidden process finder.....Fport....

nothing detects it

I was using port explorer - Everything seemed fine...

BUT then i saw a process WITH NO NAME and it was transmiting to a canadian ip - THEn it DISAPPEARED

I've had someone with a canadian ip address log into my rapidshare account download and upload with it too - I caught it quikckly and chaged my password

I don't know how long it's been going on for but I KNOW WHAT I SAW!

What can be use to detect hidden processes? Because apparently i've used many tools and no hidden process shows up

I would format and re-install. I wouldn't trust anything on it any longer.

I am REALLY Angry

My computer is running fast and without any problems...It's like a dream

I'm experienced too - I've used tools as rootkit unhooker and Fport - And all that - Even autoruns

Everything is fine

Wow this is disturbing

Why not take a look at the cleanup forum if you are infected with something nasty. »Security Cleanup.

If I were you, I'd give AVG Antispyware and SuperAntispyware a try. Perhaps some more antirootkit tools as well like F secure blacklight and AVG antirootkit.

If there is something unknown running on your pc and stealing info, it might be good to find the source of it so companies can add detection for it.

Also, I was wondering, do you run any AV program?

I doubt Blacklight beta or AVG AK would help much if RKU hasn't found anything. RKU is light years ahead of these other AKs. But I suppose it never hurts to try them.

Maybe the tools are correct - there is no 'hidden process'. Maybe the thing that you were using that made you think there was a 'hidden process' was simply incapable of determining the name?

The program i was using is called "Port Explorer"

Usually everything is clean

But apparently i saw a "Process or service" Without anyname and it was to a foreign ip in canada

Well i have kaspersky - i scanned in windows and in SAFE mode

Even did a rootkit scan and turned up the heuristic On all scans

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! Maybe i'm just way too paranoid

I did have an irc backdoor on my computer....Back when i didn't use any antivirus

I have never had any problems with my computer...NEVER

I have a rapidshare.com premium account

I use FLASHGET - Which some say is malware

Well you know you can download rapidshare files through flashget

But you need to enter your name and password in flashget to be able to do that

And a few months ago - I just cant get over this

Would Process Guard be any help in this situation? I saw the "P" in your tray, but wasn't sure if this was PG.

Sorry, that your description does not contained important/necessary information for analysis.
If you need help, show, for example, this information
- point out when those downloads took place - at visits some site(s) or when your computer was connected to the Internet without any router, and so on.
- what packets were downloaded - copy them, archive and attach to your next post.

WireShark »www.wireshark.org/ won't give you the name of a process but it will show you exactly what is being transmitted.

Am I missing something ? The graphic states "traffic you have generated with your premium account" Could it be someone is using your account and not your PC. Sorry if I don;t get it.

Please read the site FAQ regarding the posting of in-line externally linked images so that in the future you do not blow out the margins for the rest of us.

»Site FAQ »How wide can an uploaded graphic be?

»Site FAQ »Inline Images in Posts

said by Site FAQ :

Using Image Tags for Linking Off-Site

Any graphic wider than 700 pixels linked off-site using [img] tags will not be resized, and it will blow out the right margin of the posting window. The extended margin will affect the entire posting page, and it can render the thread difficult for you and others to read...

Please be considerate of others when posting images.

Ever consider the fact that rootkits don't need processes or any usermode code at all?

Have you considering posting an RkU log? I'd be pretty damn surprised to see RkU completely bypassed.

Well i have used Rku an it is all clean

Anyway, I am just paranoid that my rapidshare.com account was used

Well i did have a backoor.irc on my computer

Anyway evrything is fine on my pc.

And i sill Am WONDERING! how a person who is from canada got into my rapidshare.com account uploaded files and downloaded with it

I guess i will never know...AND THEY DIDNT CHANGE MY PASSWORD?

This is strange like hell...But no one has logged into it since i removed that backdoor

Believe me, The time i spent trying to find anything suspicious on my computer and everything was fine

I have used various tools, I have even checked for kernel hooks and evrything that is hooked is from a legitimate application

I have captured network traffic, All turns out clean

I have used auto runs

I have used netstat

I have used kaspersky with all the scans turned on max and even scanned in safe mode

Well this all happened when i had a backdoor on my pc...Who knows

But anyway...What else can i possibly do? I am just upset and paranoid about the whole thing...I installed an apllication that also had a backdoor. And the only thing it id was use my rapidshare premium account

Wait so you are saying that everything came out clean even though you had backdoor.irc infection?
