Windows 10: How Can I Tell if Someone Has Accessed my Microsoft Account

Hello,

Yesterday evening, a few hours ago, my friend inadvertently sent me a virus. She has meant to send a plain video of a singer, but when I clicked on the link, it immediately downloaded without requiring a security scan. I knew something was wrong immediately and a few minutes later I saw my Google URL become BGoogle. I did a factory restoration on my laptop, from soup to nuts, all files included. Not I'm putting things back, including my Microsoft Account. My first question is, how can I tell if someone -- the hacker -- has access to my Microsoft Account. I have not changed the password yet, but I would first like to go onto the security section and see if anyone has logged on, their location, or just the time; however, I forgot how to do so, and I would appreciate if someone would let me know how and where I can do that.

There is also a message that keep popping up that I don't understand, particularly because I have AOL mail: Here's a snapshot of the message:



Does anyone understand what this means? I may have uninstalled a mail app but I don't see how that would lead to this message. I not even sure if I did.

Thanks,

Daffy D
