Found a Trojan, and the worst part is.

It's from someone who lives very close, almost certainly a neighbour. :mad:

    I'm hoping for your sake it was not one these Trojans.

    1) Eh?
    2) Erm...how did you catch it?
    3) How do you know it's originally from someone local? Are you on their wifi or something?

    No, but whoever gave the trojan to me, used it to break into my WiFi, and has been using it. :mad:

    What does your router log show in terms of unknown connections? (Unknown to you, that is)

    It's not a normal router. It's a Mifi Modem.

    If I were on an unlimited connection, I probably wouldn't have noticed, but when 3GB of download allowance disappears in a couple of hours, and you've done little more than browse a few forums, you tend to notice. :)

    So how do you know you have a Trojan?

    If you have a virus it could very well be downloading or uploading in the background and eating up your data or you may simply just have updates coming though (on windows, the windows 10 upgrade is around a 3gb file)

    AV scan found it.

    I haven't upgraded to Win 10.
