Check You Are Hacked Or Not

Just follow along and check all the steps,
you might also be one of the victims.
NOTE:- Before doing these steps, close all
the downloads and web pages. Make sure
on torrent of window update install is
going on but stay connected to internet.
1) The first method is very simple for all
the people using an ADSL router. After all
the internet downloads are closed, just
check the status of Ethernet light. It
should not blink at a very fast rate. It
shows that packets are being transferred
in and out of your computer .
But as there is no active download or
internet activity so no packets should
transfer. If so… you might be hacked
2) goto run and type cmd. The command
prompt will open. In the command
prompt type
netstat -a
This shows the list of active internet
connections, check if any unnecessary
internet connection is ESTABLISHED. If so,
you might be hacked
if you type just netstat, you will get the
list of all the netstat commands, you may
try the other commands as well.
3) You notice any abnormal activity in
your computer, like your computer hangs
for a couple of seconds every time you
switch it on or in between your tasks (if
it occurs often), there is a chance that
you are hacked. Often keyloggers and
trojans are configured to deliver all the
log information to the destination ip
address / ftp address after reqular
interval of time. And when this
information is being sent, the browser
hangs for some time.
4) Use softwares like TCP view, it gives
the list of all the connections made
through TCP. This software is capable of
detecting almost all the trojan/malicious
connections.
5) Keep the antivirus updated and install
an external firewall like comodo. If your
antivirus is not updated regularly, it is
as good as nothing. If you don’t update
your antivirus reqularly and often
exchange data from other computers and
download a lot of files. There is a great
possibility that you are hacked.
Beware!! Stay updated, stay Protected.
