RE: Possible Malware?

["Cleghorn, Lance A" <CLEGHORNL08 () students ecu edu>]

The keyboard and mouse losing function is odd; however, losing a trust relationship with your domain can be caused by a 
variety of things.
1. Check your time on the local PC, different time zones and big differences in date or time will kick you off the 
domain.
2. Check the computer account in AD and see if it is locked out.  It may need to be reset.
3. Provisioning, if you use provisioning in your domain it may need to be re-provisioned.

First troubleshooting step to try is bouncing the PC off and on the domain.  Add the PC to a workgroup (if you are 
using win 7 you have to at least type a character in the password prompt) then restart or ipconfig /flushdns and 
ipconfig /renew and add the PC back to the domain.

If you get an error putting the PC back on the domain then troubleshoot that particular error.

Hope this helps,

Subject: Possible Malware?

Hello List,

I have a Windows 7 PC connected to a domain exhibiting the following
behavior:

1. The user logged off the machine to go to lunch. When she returned she was unable to logon and the machine displayed 
an error stating that the machine had lost the trust relationship with the domain.

2. The local administrator account has been removed from the local administrators group.

3. When the network cable was unplugged, the keyboard and mouse quit functioning.

Admittedly, I'm new to malware hunting. But to me, this behavior is suspicious. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Thank you,

Joe Hargis
