I don't think it's possible to hack a computer without internet connection.

If something messing with your computer every day, it's probably a virus. Start computer in safe mode, check startup propgrams, check registry. Run a virus scan.

It isnt true. If you dont have internet access the only way to access the machine is locally. Meaning sitting right there.

(edit) Wait, you say you are disconnected, so why did the hackers block you out of the internet? If you're already disconnected? Are you sure you are disconncted from the internet?

i have a pc that is hacked almost daily but the thing is that it is completely disconnected and it have no wireless network card. how is the hackers able to connect to it at all. they also takes over every firewall i install and use them to block me out of the internet. they are clearly very skilled and very determined.
Not physically possible. There needs to be some form of I/O connection with another system (controlled by the hacker) for there to even be a chance of it being hacked. Computer systems that are isolated completely (imagine that the computer is in an indestructible box with no openings and no way to input anything to it) cannot be hacked.

However if the computer was connected to the internet at some stage it could have been hacked back then and is still hacked now as the malware was never removed. Obviously since it is not connected to the internet the malware will not send anything to the hacker or receive any commands from the hacker but it still might degrade user experience on the system and potentially compromise personal information so that it can transmit it when it is next connected to the internet.

In any case I advise a clean OS reinstall followed by the installation of a modern OS like newest Linux builds, Mac OS builds or Windows 7/8. Make sure to download all incremental updated before browsing the internet heavily.

i dont troll. i have in fact been hacked a lot lately and i tried several firewalls to stop it but the hacker bypassed them and took control over them. after repeated hacking i was forced to disconnect. there appears to be bootkits of some kind because there is constant disk activity when i am on the login screen. my router doesnt have firewall and windows firewall is broken. i mostly try to help people out but people are generally ungrateful. i am respectful towards other peopler but get nothing but disrespect in return.

No, its normal that this happens. Your computer simply tries to deny you.

Also, welcome back to Computer Tech forums, we really did not miss you!

This isn't a proper excuse for creating retarded threads.

there is constant disk activity when i am on the login screen

There is a fuckton of reasons why its happening... First of all, windows likes to do disk defrag or virus checks and whatever other shit when the computer is not in use, and at login screen pretty much it is not used, or windows is just loading in... I am 99% sure that you don't have any fucking hacker(getting viruses/worms/malwares does not count hacking, its your fucking fault) you just simply don't fucking know any shit about computers and software.
How I am so sure? Easy. Every single stupid thread you make show no knowledge at all, only total ignorance. Secondly, why would anyone give a shit about your computer.
If you really have a hacker then it is cause you are a potential vulnerability to your whole system.

Also, hacking you should report not to hive, but to police and to your ISP(however I am sure that they'll send you to hell in no time).

Sure it is. If you ever plugged a USB or inserted a disc into your computer, there is a possibility you infected it. There may be a virus hidden in a certain program/ISO/RAR file that you copy to the USB/disc. Plug that USB/disc into your clean computer and BAM, you may have just infected it.

I'm sure some advanced viruses may be able to automatically infect a USB once it's plugged into the computer (meaning the USB/disc may become infected even if you didn't transfer any files across). Just guessing though.

Only if there is a vulnerability in the host system. This can vary from over trusting drivers that do not bound check giving Kernal level control to a virus all the way to the OS being written badly and executing whatever is plugged into it.

I find it odd that you don't respond. Granted a lot of the posts are a little spiteful, but if this is a serious problem I would imagine you replying to whether or not it is being solved.
Also you do not seem to provide any further information on the problem at hand, but just keep quiet.

reinstall windows, just takes a few hours. I assure you the virus will be gone. :p

A complete re-installation of your operation system will remove the virus but will also remove all other files.

Your computer being hacked only requires one moment, whether it be going onto a shady website or inserting a random USB into your computer.

But once it's hacked and depending on the kind of malware could still continue to run.

I also highly suggest learning English a little more as it could help with asking questions and not getting "negative" responses. And I would like to suggest to do some basic background research on firewalls, anti-virus's and other security subjects.

The best way not to get a virus is not simply some software but having some common sense.

i generally respond to the post at the end of the topic rather than all of them. i have 3 pcs just in my living-room and they all gets hacked.(i shut down one and the hacker turns on another one.) i cant reinstall windows because my pc protected itself from it after i installed it last time. (i tried several times and all times the attempt was rejected.) svchost is one of the files that are compromised but in a way that sfc cant detect and as such i need to fix it with a different program.(or i could copy it from one of my other pcs perhaps.) my english isnt bad.
 
You are aware this whole thread is a bait, right? /Right/?
The only solution to removing a hacker from within your computer is downloading excessive amounts of ram.

http://downloadmoreram.com/

By downloading more RAM, Random Access Memory, the Hacker doesn't know where your memory is located due to it all being Random. You will no longer need a storage device such as a HDD or SSD. All you need to do is download infinitely more RAM.

Voitaisko me jo puhua Suomea? En osaa puhua Englantia.




IF, and only IF, you ACTUALLY need help with this:
1. Unplug all the computers from power.
2. Plug one of the computers to power.
3. Boot up the computer, insert LEGIT windows installation disc and shut it down.
4. Boot it up again, and boot up from disc. If your computer continues even to Windows logo/loading/login screen, power it off and try again.
4b. If you're unable to boot up from the disc, send the computer to be fixed in a computer shop (Or wherever the hell you want to).
5. When the boot asks you to do something, select clean install, that is, /reinstalling the os without keeping any existing data/.
6. Do 2. over for the rest of the computers.

And you're correct; your English isn't bad. It's fucking /HORRIBLE/.

i dont troll. i am completely honest about the problem i am experiencing so it is clear that the hacker knows the address to my router which means that the hacker knows my ip.(until my no-ip host expires.) i know how to boot from cd but the installation program gets blocked.(likely by disabling the cd-rom drive because it goes black and it stops spinning.) this topic isnt meant as any form of bait just as a way to find out how the hackers succeed in what they do. cihparg seem to advertising some website and i dont think that that is allowed.

You have been told that this is not possible. In this case, you take a different approach - insisting that it is hacking will not offer you a solution, because you are being misled.

Through which of your 3 computers you're accessing the network at the moment?
 
i am currently using my windows 7 pc and currently it isnt being hacked. is there any good bootkit removal tools.

Are you reading the replies?

Unless you explicitly state how you know that your PC is being hacked, I am not sure people can help you further (not because they are unable to, but because you ignore the posts). For example, Dr Super Good has said that this is impossible. What do you have to say about that? Give people more clues, being blocked from certain actions on your computer by no means does it justify a speculation of a hacking attempt.

i try to read the posts you dont seem to read mine. svchost have been compromised but sfc was made before that threat even existed and is therefore unable to find it but roguekiller finds that issue however it cant repair that file as it lacks that tool. i need a tool that can fix svchost.

That is a generic process that is part of the OS and used to host DLLs.

Easiest way to fix it is to re-install your OS. Any viruses and "hackers" will be gone after the reinstall. After you download all updates there is no way the hacker will be restarting your computers randomly. End of, topic can be closed.

or just replacing the file itself with one that isnt compromised. i have another vista pc that isnt ever online so its files should be safe. how is the best way to transfer it.
Transferring system files is a bad idea as some of the OS files contain DRM and other forms of authentication data such as signatures. Reinstalling is still the best approach.

If you want to do this transfer, unplug the hard disk from the computer and plug it into the good computer. If you truly are using Vista or more modern OS then there is no chance of it cross infecting since they wrote the OS properly. It will mount as a partition allowing you to simply copy it across in user space. Shut the system down and transfer the drive back.

Topic solved, could a moderator please close this.

please go somewhere else to troll. a memory stick is much easier to use than having to connect a harddrive anyway.
Except you are still running the infected OS and relying on it do copy the files across without re-infecting them. This is why I recommended you plug the boot partition directly into another non-infected system for the transfer as that way you can be sure that no virus will re-infect the file.

This is why I recommended you to do a clean install of the OS as that way you can be sure that the system will no longer be infected after the reinstall and it saves you all the complexity of having to transfer hard disks to make a safe system file swap which will probably not work anyway.
 
..and there goes the conversation through the window washed away by a glass of tea. awsum andreas:) you've been a really cooperative person so far:)

This thread went out the window the minute it was posted.
He will never have his problem solved (if there is any) when he's being so uncooperative.
No wonder these threads turn into off topic soup.

i dont try to torment total strangers i just have a problem that needs to be solved. the hackers destroyed microsoft security essentials(or at least hacked it so that i cant use it) and used it as their tool but i removed it from the startup programs so it doesnt run anymore. is there any multipupose tool that can fix broken systemfiles?

you know what may work? Take hammer and hit your hdd a few times, that will get rid of everything. Im serious.

The other solution is to reinstall the system. And please stop saying that you cant, because if I have to be honest, I think that you didnt try yet. Get Hirens boot cd and stick it to your cd/dvd driver and restart your computer. If that doesnt work, throw the old Hdds to trash and buy new ones

God, learn to listen to the solutions and stop acting that you did not received any help because what I can see that you are receiving all the help you can and need. Please do try out to respond to every solutions given if it works or not because I do think that YOU ARE COMPLETELY IGNORING all the things being posted.

Just a tip, please do help yourself as well. I'm not being rude but it's just that most of the users' effort here on helping you (such as DSG's) is being wasted.

Just saying.
