Read why XP lost a *

 

About a week after I did this Windows XP got hacked and someone loaded up a Trojan.  Trojan.Backdoor They used certain backdoors and high end toolkit products.  built into Windows XP and installed the Trojan as a second backdoor.  The Trojan installed a file shell32.exe designed to mirror or look like shell32.dll I mistakenly  deleted and had to reinstall shell32.dll.  As always I used Linux as a Trojan removal tool and removed shell32.exe which was  syphilis  virus.  A new  leaked top secret virus.  I decompiled this virus in Linux in binary and it contained RSA encryption algorithms which is used in tracking online purchases. 

I turned off the integrated suck trash garbage firewall product in WIndows XP.  I loaded the latest version of Zone Alarm firewall product.  This product will alert you if a Trojan tries to open a port and act as a server.  If you have lots of money and you own your own company buy a VPN router firewall product.  I also installed Norton Anti Virus.  Which was able to find the files easily.
