[Active] The virus changed my password administrator
Hi to All
I have problem with virus where it changed my administrator password, this happened several time even when I reset the password again from My Computer >>> Manage.
The Antivirus used:
Trend Micro >>> office scan 8
How can solve this problem? And does it depending on the antivirus
Because the folder options from Tools Menu is missed, I solved it by edited the registry, majority of my files became hidden files. All of these are Profs that my computers are infected by virus.
Note : all of the computer is connected to domain, which has administrator password.
NOTE. If any of the programs listed below refuse to run, try renaming executive file to something else; for instance, rename hijackthis.exe to scanner.exe
