Hi Jose,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

I understand that you have issues with protecting Windows 10 from fraud and hackers?

We need to know which account you use to login to Windows 10? (Microsoft/Local)

You may try the below steps and protect the Windows from hackers/fraudsters:

• 
  Use the strong passwords to login to the computer
  
• 
  Turn on the windows firewall and change the settings of the Firewall to recommended settings
  
• 
  Use the security software’s to protect from the threats
  
• 
  You may try to use the secured browse engines and encryptions to protect the data when you browse through internet
  

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.
