This is a modern (recently discovered hack) that was not possible on older versions of Deb. As systems evolve new features new ways to compromise them evolve as well. The best reason to run stable systems linked to the security update path. LL has a simple efficient update application. Don't disable it.

Hello Shannon,

I dont know if it is preinstalled, it does come with openshot I installed. It has info here of the patches for it, https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3363-1/
If you have used Menu>Install Updates it should be patched, you can check the updates and do a file search for the file names on the link.
Recommended check you Firewall rules Menu>All>Firewall Configuration  delete any rules shown under "rules tab" it should be blank, unless you chose to add a rule. If you didnt choose to add a rule or agree to a rule it is the classic definition of a backdoor, delete it.

Don't need to buy new hdd for this, unless you want a new one.

Hello folks,

Yesterday plugged in a usb drive with some type malware that took over my LL 3.4 64. Pretty sure it was this drive that started the problem. I saw an application running called image magic. It took over my settings and everything before I could shut down. After restart all of my settings had been changed. I found out this application is being used as a backdoor for other malware.

After reinstall from DVD notice the application is pre-installed in synaptic.

Should I bother to repair drive or should I save me a lot trouble and get new hdd?

Thanks
Shannon

Linux enthusiasts don't care about the lame stream.
