Attacked

I was tired and in the Url adress bar or google search i must have hit 2 keys and some numbers by accident(i think). it brought me to adress ending on .biz at the same time Norton pop-up windows appeared with the message 'i am being followed by twitter, bing, etc"...and other general companies. I closed the page quickly. Also it could be i (might) clicked on the Norton pop-ups but i am not sure, also i am not sure they where legit since they pop-up at the top. But Norton these days act like virus itself with there many pop-ups so i don't know.

Also on the same day i recieved a possible phishing mail, i opened the mail but did not click any link.

In Norton History. I saw 3 lines

- Attack blocked (red dot)

- AutoBlock for signaturenames blocked IP xxxx for 30 minutes (blue dot)

- Attack blocked (red dot)

details are a webattack, unwanted browser notification.

So at first glance it looks like Norton did his job but i am a bit paranoid. Becaus i see things that didn't happen in my norton history before this happent.

- I usually got a line "firewall rules updated" but after the attack there are also "there have been made automatically firewallrule changes for the system" This never happent before.

-Also I get sometimes a message i give internetresources to random software but now ALOT.

like default browser agent, video.ui, compatible telemetry, device census, Mousecoreworker, SIH-client, Nvidea webhelper, Update asistent, etc... after each line there is also the usual "firewall rules updated"

Obviously a scanned the system and used ADWcleaner but they find nothing.

What to do?

1) Intrusion AutoBlock address auto populates on Intrusion event.   
2) You may temporarily disable Norton Auto-Protect during Malwarebytes on-demand scan. 
You may temporarily disable Norton Product Tamper Protection during Malwarebytes on-demand scan.
If you were running Malwarebytes Premium real-time.  Malwarebytes suggests adding mutual exclusions. 

I doubt Norton Product Tamper Protection will interfere with Malwarebytes on-demand scan.  


The Unauthorized Access Blocked messages in your security history are logged by Norton Product Tamper Protection when an executable file attempts to read/write/edit/delete a Norton file.  Common Windows processes like svchost.exe, taskmgr.exe, dfrgntfs.exe, etc. as well as executable from third-party software will cause an Unauthorized Access Blocked message to be logged if they touch a file from your Norton installation. Please see post <here> in the Product Suggestions board regarding logging of these blocks. (credit Imacri)


Norton Product Tamper Protection events are not reports of malware.  Unauthorized Access Blocked (Access Process Data) messages in your security history are not reports of malware.  The most common Norton Product Tamper Protection log entries are legitimate Windows processes that Norton is preventing from accessing Norton files or processes.  


Norton Product Tamper Protection events are normal, as legitimate programs and Windows processes frequently try to access Norton files or processes.  Norton blocks attempts by outside agents - even legitimate Windows processes.  There is no need to do anything.  No need to scan with a third-party anti-malware program, no need to change services settings.  These events are not attacks.  They can be ignored.  Unless the actor in the logs is an actual malicious process that does not belong on your PC, these events are totally harmless and routine. (credit SendOfJive)

Re: Attacked

OMG, i didn't see the tab...:/

Ok this is what i did so far.

- Full scan Norton, no hit

- Scan ADW cleaner no hit

- I did go into notification settings in firefox but can't find and websites there.

But instead i reset the browser and turned off any notifications.

- Scan Malwarebytes no hit

- Scan Malwarebytes with Norton autoprotect off (quite scary)no hit.

- couldn't sign up for malwarebytes help

- scanned with Hitman pro also no hit.  It only found 1 tracking cookie.

So im gonna deleted Malware bytes it didn't find anything and takes quite some resources. And hope for the best.

I am just very scared for credentials theft, it even kept me awake some nights.

Re: Attacked

I think you may be overly concerned about what the Norton History logs are showing.  The firewall rules and the processes that it allows to access the network and the internet are normal.  If you Google some of those processes, you'll see that some are legitimate and associated with Windows Update and others belong to various components on your PC.  You need to trust that if Norton is granting permission to these processes, they are completely safe and do not represent a threat.  It also sounds like your unfamiliarity with Malwarebytes may have caused some of the issues and confusion you had with that product.  And website registrations sometimes fail for one reason or another.  Maybe the fact that Hotmail no longer exists had something to do with it, even though @hotmail addresses are still valid.

The only thing of concern that I found in your posts was the initial attack that Norton Intrusion Prevention blocked.  That is exactly what Norton is supposed to do, and you were protected.  You have verified this by running multiple malware scans that have all come up clean.  I think you can rest easy.  Just remember that EVERYTHING you see in the Norton History logs is something that has already happened and Norton has already dealt with it.  Norton will alert you any time something important comes up that needs your attention.  Otherwise, you can just let Norton handle things - you don't have to second-guess it.

Re: Attacked

I Refreshed my browser, and manually cleaned my pc. But i still got got those programs using my networkrecources. now Runtimebroker, Pingsender(from mozilla), Control program of VRI-something

But got attacked again by the same attacker, only autoblock didn't kick in this time. Becaus there was some info that the attack source was from DEVICE\HARDISK\VOLUME5\PROGRAM FILES/MOZILLAFIREFOX and i don't know where to find this. So I deleted the browser. Then i manually removed any Mozilla files left on my PC. Checking folder by folder & turns out, those folder and leftovers where everywhere. Some mozilla folders i could not even remove even though i am the admin, but deleting the content one by one in the folder itself did the job.

then i used CCleaner, a health check, removed some gabage and cookies, fixed some register issues, and removed alot of trackers.Then reinstalled Firefox clean. My Pc uses 5-12% less memory :/ (so that was needed) and whats more importent to me that drives me insane, i am  using my PC for 3.5hours and no random program used my networkresources anymore... So i hope it fixed it. Let see what happens tommorow. fingers crossed.

My PC knowledge is limited and from my basic mindset i see something change in my security, not sure what it means but there is a change. Like those programes using my resources when i did not ask or use it.l Hopefully they did not extract sensitive info like accounts, passwords any credentials really. When under "attack" its scary i have to use "the internet" to find a fix

Like i said i don't know how everything works but i find it strange Norton scan, Norton Power-eraser, ADW cleaner, MalewareBytes, Hitmanpro no program really don't find any corrupt file or threath when there is something out there. DI10 is a nasty thing.

I asumed the the Url was send push notifactions using Mozilla but i couldn't find any in the settings so in firefox settings i turned of all notification and deleted al extension. it did not fix anything. So i asumed something installed into mozilla causing this. So after deleting every Mozilla file it seems to be better again, The Norton Firewall logs are doing the same thing again as before the attacks, atleast untill now.

But yes, i have to stop looking at norton logs to much. Specially becaus most of the time i don't know what it means. you are right.

But what i am sure of, the logs were diffrent after the attack. These windows legit software & parts used networkresourcers one by one and used more CPU/memory/disk use then used to be.

Re: Attacked

Those are normal.  The Norton Firewall contains both "allow" and "block" rules for various types of traffic.  Whether Norton allows or blocks something depends on the trust level Norton has assigned to your network.  If your network is set to "public," Norton will generally block, by default, more protocols, like file sharing, that can be used as attack vectors for malicious purposes.  If your network is "private," which means isolated from outside devices, the rules to allow things like file sharing take priority so that devices on your private network can communicate with each other.  What protocols are allowed or blocked depends on your network trust level and how much risk is posed by each protocol.  The idea is that Norton will automatically block any protocol that is not necessary for the level of network trust you are using and allow them for local networks that are not exposed to outside threats and might need them.

Re: Attacked

 

As a general observation, everything in the history logs sounds bad - but isn't.  The logs are not an action list of things that the user needs to respond to - they are just a record of all the activities that Norton performs in the normal course of business.  if your attention is needed concerning some event, Norton will alert you at the time that it actually happens.  Don't be concerned about stuff in the logs.

The "Block WIndows FIle Sharing" rule prevents outside computers from accessing the files on your computer, and is the default for systems where file and printer sharing is not enabled.  If your computer is set up to share on your network, then Norton will use a rule that allows WIndows File Sharing to supercede the block rule.  Obviously, blocking is always safer, but is not something you want if sharing between computers on your network is necessary, as it is for many families and organizations.  In many cases the default block rule events in your history logs are related to internal system communications, and so would be nothing to worry about anyway.

& 4 logs with Protecting your connection to a newly detected network on adapter "intel ethernet 2 VI912-V (adress)

after system revovery it was the same, but now its only

"Default Block Windows File Sharing \" rejected  TCP(6)  traffic with  (0.0.0.0  Port)

& 4 logs with Protecting your connection to a newly detected network on adapter "intel ethernet 2 VI912-V (adress)

and yesterday there was added a 5th log Protecting your connection to a newly detected network on adapter "intel ethernet 2 VI912-V (adress)

is this normal to have a new added adress?

Re: Attacked

Yes, all normal.  Whenever the adapter makes a new connection after being disconnected, Norton logs it.  Norton logs all of its monitoring activities.  If it is not alerting you to trouble, everything is fine.

Re: Attacked

Yes seems so, apperantly it are temporary tcp-6 adresses or something. Dunno why or how but thats what i find on my PC.

now this happend in order: (probably nothing or a issue with my Intel software but this happend)

- My Pc was running a bit slower and was using 10% more RAM.  last few days only the IAstorDataSVC was using 2x-3x more ram than usual and gradually increased every day.

- Then i searched with google information about Intel came on a site with Https mark and safe according to norton, didn't click on any stuff on the site. And i got another webattack, this time it was called "whatosgoingon.biz" So again Norton did his job.

- Naturally got nervous again, so i ran every scan i could do again. then some weird things happend. or atleast things i never experienced. Like: When i used ADWcleaner, i start the program it ask me for permission to run my network & system. becaus i am used to this i don't read this message i just click "OK" or "agree" without any thought but the screen went black and got the same permission question (atleast i think so becaus i clicked it away on a blink of an eye :/ ). Also  when opened Norton360 the tray icon went red for a few seconds and a norton pop-up came on screen to do a smartscan. It looked legit but the "don't show me again button" didn't seemed to change color if i hover my mouse over it.

- Anyway i killed the IAstorDataSVC service, closed my Pc, resetted the router. and everthing seems working ok again, Its like my pc got 10% boost back again, IAstorDataSVC seems to use the normal RAM/memory like it has done for years. After the reset of the router and killing intel it seems the History logs are kinda like before.

To my untrained eye it seems i had a issue with a intel' application but those attacks makes me nervous.

"You should take immediate action to stop any damage or prevent further damage from happening."

So yes i closed my webbrowser as fast as  i could but what immediate action can i take apart of don't go there again?

Also Norton logs say i am not required to do anything. :/

Is there a significant meaning behind the number in "Unwanted Browser Notification Website 29". For instance mine attack was 30.
