  1. Just got hacked, looking for what to do next.


    A few hours ago I looked at my computer which I was not working at at the time and saw that Chrome and Firefox were both open to the password manager page, and the mouse was acting on it's own, moving around and clicking things. I grabbed my mouse to see what was happening. It was unresponsive to me, then the surge of fear hit me when I realized WTH was going on! I immediately powered down my computer, then rebooted after unplugging my PC's ethernet cable. With some help we downloaded the latest Malwarebytes to install and run on my system, it found and quarantined these: Folder: 1 PUP.Optio

    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
