-
Your PC was discovered to be a
zombie.
- If you don't know what a computer
zombie is, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_%28computer_science%29
- part of a net of zombie PCs controlled
by criminals; probably they gained access
to your PC via a virus.
- That zombie net was or is being used by
criminals to attack server systems on other
parts of the Internet.
- That your PC may also still be working
for you too, does Not prove it hasn't been
zombied for emote control too. (Of course
zombie work can be done in parallel to
user's work, so user doesn't realise zombie
co-residence).
-
We disabled your network
configuration
- To protect our associates (& others
in general ) from further abuse by
criminals controlling your PC.
- This may have also prevented your PC
from attacking other systems, for which you
may have been held liable by them.
- This may have also prevented your PC
contracting further viruses (additional to
what's already there).
- We have not changed any of your data
apart from to disable the network
configuration.
Others, eg virus &/or zombie botnet
controllers may have changed, added to, or
deleted some of your data. We don't know,
have not looked & will not look.
-
We regret the necessity
Similarly to the way
- Police regret the necessity to stretch
a net of claws across a road, to disable
wheels of a stolen car
- You would regret the necessity to truck
dumping toxic waste on your land.
-
We Strongly urge you to
- Re-build or de-virus & de-zombie
your PC. Clean all files, file systems
& disk partitions, including all your
removable media eg CDROMS & USB memory
sticks etc, we suggest you also check if
others of your PC's have been zombied or
virused.
- Do it Before you reconnect to the
Internet.
- If you don't know how to, get
professionals to do it.
- We are Not trying to sell you fixing
services, It is is your own responsibility
to select your PC repairer &
maintainer, just like people select their
own car mechanic for accident damage
repair, & periodic maintenance.
Sorry, but we can't recommend anyone, as
anyone in any country may receive this
message, we can only suggest you use some
other PC to search the internet for help,
& maybe contact your ISP = Internet
Service Provider.
- Please take responsibility & do
your best to ensure control of your PC is
not again stolen from you by criminals,
(just like eg it's also your responsibility
to lock your car & not leave on street
with keys in ignition). Consider installing
[better] anti virus packages, passwords
etc.
-
Do not reconnect your PC to the net until
zombie & virus[es] removed
- If you reconnect to the Internet Before
removing the zombie & virus[es] we or
others may take harder action, which could
include eg:
- Harder hitting action to cripple your
PC software, eg perhaps removing numerous
programs so the PC will not boot or run
properly, (though even then we would try to
leave data files intact).
- Legal pursuit against you for
damages.
-
Do Not Consider Action Against Us
- All we did was de-activate your zombie
PC, After you had left it exposed, &
criminal seized control, & turned it to
a zombie to attack our associates.
- If you choose to escalate, we would
have to too. too.
- Don't waste your time or money using
lawyers, (our associates could out-sue them
anyway, countering for damages your zombied
PC(s) (that you failed to control),
inflicted against our associates' servers,
plus costs for de-activating your
zombie).
- Better spend your time & money
fixing your zombied PC(s) that are
currently remote controlled by
criminals.
