E-Protectors

Are you scared that maybe you have a trojan or bot installed on your computer? Maybe somebody is key-logging you right now, watching your every online move. Protect your self from identity theft, fraud, account hijacking, and multiple other things by quickly checking if your computer is infected.

We are going to use a simple application that comes with windows to do this standard test. Lets begin!

Go to start, then to run. Now type “CMD” (without the quotes), and hit enter! You should now get a black box, this is referred to as Command Prompt.

Make sure you have no other Internet related programs running, and you are ONLY on this website (limits all the possibilities).

Now that you have this box open, type the following command (without quotes):

“netstat -n”

NetStat shows connections, but has many different options, “-n” shows all direct connections. This should look like this:

If you see connections to 127.0.0.1, you are OK! 127.0.0.1 stands for localhost, in which is your own computer. Please also note, since you are on e-protectors, you will probably also be connected to “220.231.180.147″. This is safe too. If you are not using any other applications that use Internet, but notice some other foreign connections, this could be very dangerous (you probably have a trojan virus).

This may not be true though, so let’s go into further depth. Let’s use the -B option in Netstat, this will display which application it is being used with. This should look like this:

Netstat -B Option

If you see any unrecognized applications connected to the foreign IP you earlier saw using the option “netstat -n”, then you probably have a virus. If your Anti-virus/firewall says your computer is clean, try bringing your computer to a local shop and have them remove it.
