Jesper M. Jahansson, Security Program Manager at Microsoft, has a new column: Help: I Got Hacked. Now What Do I Do?
Let’s just say you did not install the patches like we discussed last month. Now you got hacked. What to do?
I’ll skip to the end for you:
The only way to clean a compromised system is to flatten and rebuild. Thats right. If you have a system that has been completely compromised, the only thing you can do is to flatten the system (reformat the system disk) and rebuild it from scratch (reinstall Windows and your applications).
Are your security patches up to date?
