Windows 10: Am I Being Hacked Or Am I Just Paranoid?

Here's what happened :

I changed the shutdown button function to shutdown and not sleep anymore, but ocasionally I check and I see that it hasnt shutdown for days.

1: Does updating Windows do this?

2:Am I being hacked?

Email Hacked

Hello Greg

thank you for your response and the great information you provided.

I use two step authentication for my email account and all important web sites. I also use the full version of Malwarebytes to protect my computer.

But I will do the scans you suggested AdwCleaner and Limewire.com and let you know the results.

I am worried though that the webcam installed on my laptop could have been hacked. I never use it and forgot about it, so never disabled it.

Any suggestions as to find if it was actually hacked?

thank you

mike

 

FBI Hacking Warning.

By quoting Barman58:
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean the threat isn't real. IMHO, doing as FBI suggests require little effort, now does it?

 

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.
