Hi,
Please go easy on me if anything I post is technically stupid, does not make sense, or has nothing to do with gaytorrent.ru
Last night while uploading and downloading [my tottret software is qtorrent], I noticed my computer slowed to a crawl. I then noticed a file had recently, within the last 10 minutes, been added or downloaded to my desktop called dlconfig.php
I quit everything and ran a Malwarebytes (premium) scan which showed clean. I then did a ccleaner run and there were hundreds of files similar to this (I deleted everything so am going on memory) loicsquad_jesus_hiddenwiki.php
again, that is not exact but I think the right people will know what it was. I followed the ccleaner with another utility program that found 4,000+ temp files with many, I believe, being .php
I did a google search and all I could understand was that loic was a tool used for ddos attacks and that if I had loic on my computer I could be controlled remotely to participate in a botnet to carry out the attacks. I saw a mention of a connection between loic and P2P torrent sites, and that's where I stopped, shut off my torrents and came to this post. I don't know if it is relevant, but I also installed Video Thumbnails Maker earlier yesterday. That is the only change I made to my computer in last 24 hours.
All of my utility programs seem to have cleared the php files. It was mentioned I should look for and manually delete a running process winlogo.exe (not winlogon.exe, which I understand is the normal process). I was unable to locate winlogo.exe which hopefully means I am clean from loic or whatever.
I could be imagining things, but my computer seems sluggish though my CPU usage seems within normal range.
Obviously, I am concerned about firing up my torrents to re-start my ups and downs. Can anybody shed some light on this?
I respectfully remind you that I am clueless and if everything I said is technically stupid or impossible that it is related to gaytorrent.ru, just let me know in ENGLISH-speak please. i.e. 'splaining what php, low cannons and jesus hidden wiki is would be a waste of your time because I won't understand you.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for this post that I had to base on memory.
