Cookies are basically data collectors. "Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?"

I run C-Cleaner and had the infected version. I hadn't noticed anything specific except Chrome kept crashing which I put down to the Windows Creators Update running a couple of weeks ago. Not happy. I wonder if we'll ever find out what was stolen or compromised Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 19-09-2017 10:48 AM ceekay venomous fairy Registered: Feb 2010 Posts: 39935 - Threads: 1064 Location: In a wide open space 2016 Winner Thread Honourable Mention Member Quote: Matt wrote on 19-09-2017 10:48 AM Bugger.

I wonder if we'll ever find out what was stolen or compromised Yeah, my mouse was a bit "jumpy" and then Edge closed itself (some sites stall on payment screens in Chrome, tres annoying) and I knew something was up. IT boys are not amused but owe me one again... They too use CC. Interestingly when I cleaned up, my back up monitor stopped. It ran last night but it worries me that I backed up a trojan May ask the boys to remove it from the back up purely as a precaution. "Do you believe in the devil?
