IT Security - Backdoor Countermeasure

Backdoors are programs that hackers installed in your computer once the hacker had an access in your machine. Most backdoors CANNOT be detected by an AntiVirus. Once, your computer was hacked, ALWAYS assume that it has a "hidden" backdoors installed in it. The best thing to solve this is to install an anti-rootkit program or a backdoor scanner. Or else, re-format your harddrive and re-install your operating system.

To prevent your computer from these backdoor programs, just do the following:

1. Always update your Windows OS (Start --> Windows Update)

2. Install an AntiVirus and "always get the latest update".

3. Install a Trojan Defense Suite. We recommend the one from MultiMania.com

4. Check your computer to see if your computer is under attack.
How?

Start --> Run --> type "cmd"

C:\>netstat -a

If you see many connections are in SYN_RECV status, then most probably you are under attack!
