    Identity Theft, Security on my Windows 10 PC


    Recently I was a victim of Identity Theft. I got a call from this guy who said he worked for Microsoft. Like a fool I let him remotely access on of my other Windows 10 PCs. Can anyone suggest how I can better protect myself. I signed up with Identity Guard.


    Another question I have is on the Windows 10 PC I am using now, when I am entering information on a website, such as my email address or password, and even as I am typing this question, I box appears, and what I am typing shows up in the "box." Does anyone know what this is, and how I can get rid of it?


    Thank you,

    Dayhiker4k

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Identity theft or compromised accounts, like email, facebook and such?

    Identity theft is a serious business and it can not be solved without police and an attorney.

    Depending on the country of residence, there are various steps: https://www.identitytheft.gov
