Windows 10: What Can I Do To see if my laptop is not hacked

I let my use the laptop and got it back, something is not right. I just feel like someone is here with me. I don't know for sure but I found a profile Photo that creeped me out It was to small to make it clear it was distorted. Is there any way I could check to see if someone hacked the laptop? Thank You

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
