Have I Been Targeted By Hacker?

    My story is that I help run a group on Facebook and we get lots of SPAM posts. This particular post was from a hacker offering fake documents and hacking services. I challenged him and he got abusive and threatening. He said he could show me what he could do to me. I have read stories of hackers being able to impregnate and infiltrate computers remotely and even get illegal stuff onto remote machine. I guess he could have got my details fro Facebook somehow. I am just worried that something may have happened. I have not noticed anything in particular - just worried about identity theft, keyloggers and illegal stuff.

    Many thanks

    Your logs are clean. I can only suggest you report the abuse to Facebook.

    Since you are not having any malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 or 10, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thank you so much for the help and support.

    Reporting to Facebook is a waste of time. The guy will have a string of fake accounts and this will be just one. We get fakes coming all the time to scam group members. The best we can do is to delete / block. The difference this time was that he was a hacker which was a bit unusual.

    Thank you again for all the help.
