Hello,
I was accessing my credit card account yesterday on my home PC and saw a strange pop-up asking me to enter all the important information (DOB, SSN, ATM # etc) because it was a security measure. This immediately looked suspicious so I changed all my important passwords on my Mac laptop.
When this was happening, I saw process in Task Manager called "obiqul.exe" with a name of "Liar Nickel Cod". I then did a full system scan using Avast free edition and today I scanned by PC again with Superantispyware. These programs only found some cookies. I deleted "obiqul.exe" which was in my user forum and went through the registry and deleted everything that's related to it. Then I did a system scan again and the result was clean.
AFAIK, my PC is running fine. There are haven't been any strange popups since and I haven't seen any weird processes. But do you all think I should still reinstall Windows just to be safe?
Thanks!
Nick
