seriously you should install an anti-virus program ahead of time to keep stuff like this from happening. good job.

Well, first off put tape over the camera, to obstruct the camera view. Turn on computer and disconnect then internet. Grab a USB and install an anti-virus program on it (the .exe, use a different PC.). Put the USB in and install, then scan.

use puppy linux to get rid of it

If you disconnect your computer from the internet that RAT is useless. After install an anti-virus.

I had a problem like this once. I was on Skype just IM'ing my friends and all of a sudden, my webcam light turned on. I pushed my laptop screen upward to the roof (because I was using an attached monitor so it wasn't a problem to do that), I tell my friend: "I think I'm being stalked, bro."

Then this message came on my screen:



I didn't know whether to laugh my ass off at this guy's humorous trolling or if I should've been concerned. He did no damage to my computer from what I could tell, he just spammed me with screaming noises and screen-savers. lol

I did get rid of the virus manually, though. Checked my processes for any suspicious programs, tracked them to my roaming folder, and deleted them. Try checking your roaming folder.

I have more pictures if anyone's interested. :)

I honestly think a whole load of us came here expecting a live rodent living in his computer case. Myself included.

LOOOOOOOOL.

I think it was just you, bro. :p

Well, unless not a lot of people know what a RAT is, but I don't think people here would assume it's a live rat before a virus. xD

Guilty as charged. I'm disappointed now that I found out it's just a stupid virus.

My dad use to work for a guy who fixed computers. Anyway one day this guy's computer wouldn't start so when he opened it up he found a ton mice inside the machine.

Also op unplug your webcam when you aren't using it.

But no really, unless you hold your creditcard number in front of your webcam every night, there is nothing to worry about.

He's the guy who calls you an idiot if you don't agree with him.
