ASchultz Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Does Speccy determine if a system has been compromised and how? We had confirmation of a "full-system hacker" through hiring 2 techs to check our desk top computer, but i'm wondering if there is a program that can detect what hackers did while in our network? And if they access our new router, server, computer, network ? And I do not know too much of the lingo as I am not tech savvy, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted August 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2018 Who were these "2 techs"? Did they contact you, maybe by telephone, more likely by an onscreen pop-up warning? There are a lot of tech-support scammers out there who at best will charge you for something that is not needed, and at worst will hack your machine themselves leaving unwanted malware behind. I suggest that if you are unsure then you should get a reliable malware check/removal done of your machine. There are a few different places that will do this for free, you can find a list in section 10 of the forum rules:https://forum.piriform.com/announcement/15-forum-rules/ The forum rules here prevent us from assisting with malware removal other than pointing to those services. Personally I would recommend Malwarebytes, but any of the services listed in the rules will do a similar check for you.https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/9573-im-infected-what-do-i-do-now/ *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Moderators mta Posted August 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2018 to answer your 1st question - No, Speccy will not determine if your PC has been compromised. it will just interrogate the firmware via the Microsoft WMI service and tell you "what's under the hood". Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
