[SOLVED] hackhound.exe |virus|

hi,
i was just looking in my task bar when i noticed that an application called Hackhound.exe was running. *me like WTF? *
where the *F* did I get this app from?
screenshot:

after looking in C:\Windows\ i found this app and there was a text file also called hackhound and there in I found like every password saved on my PC .. (and especially Firefox passwords)
conclusion? i have no idea!
p.s. without a doubt i terminated the application in the task bar and deleted the .exe file in Windows map AFTER i scanned the file with NOD32 (found nothing)
just curious why this was running without my permission.. any ideas?
Answer #1
You got keylogged, i suggest using another computer to change all your passwords ASAP. I also suggest to ditch NOD32 that AV is a POS. Get Avira + Malwarebytes + Comodo Firewall + SuperAntiSPyware. Next time test keygens/cracks in virtual machines.

Just a friendly call to attention here. Anyone running windows systems should check C:\windows\ for a file called hackhound.exe and hackhound.txt This is a new exploit first being found in November. It is a keylogger and will place ALL your website login and password info into the hackhound.txt file. To disable open Windows task manager, click the processes tab, then end the hackhound.exe you may then delete hackhound.exe from the windows directory. Delete the .txt file as well, but first check it to see how many sites you need to change passwords for. For the most thorough results and removal try a scan with http://www.malwarebytes.org/index.php (malwarebytes) and http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html (spybot search and destroy). Both are free and safe
