Post-compromise security scan; anything else?
- by IVR Avenger
Hi, all.
My girlfriend checked her Gmail yesterday morning, and then found, later on in the day, that it would no longer accept her password. She also found that this happened to her Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts.
She's only checked these accounts from her work and home PC, and I've spent the day checking the home PC for problems. A full AVG scan revealed a couple of installers for her webcam software that had questionable security signatures, and a full Windows Defender scan brought back nothing.
Assuming that her home PC was compromised, somehow, is there anything else I should use to check it for some sort of lingering malicious app before I tell her it's okay to login to her accounts, again?
Furthermore, she's going through the GMail "account recovery" process as the account appears to have been disabled. Does anyone know if this actually works?
Thanks so much.
