I have been a victim of computer hijacking!! Everything you could and would imagine has happened. It started with FB Messenger and snowballed downhill from there. They have taken over my PC and phone. Is it possible for them to sell my information? I have noticed files in my computer being "Packaged", if you will, and then disappearing!! Approximately 3 weeks ago I was bombarded with constant downloads on my Android, and PC, so that I could not get a call out or operate my computer.
I have Windows 8.1. I have tried to update, reload, recover and upgrade to 10....all to no avail. I have even looked at the event viewer and other operations on my PC, and have found nothing suspicious. Is it really possible for hackers to do all of this? I have contacted several agencies, including filing a report with the FBI. Did my reports even reach their destinations? I have been reading everything I can on hacking and online safety and read that "They" will even manipulate your search engine?
Do a virus scan with your Internet off, but I seriously recommended a complete system wipe at this point. Backup everything essential and then nuke the system. And then make sure to both virus check and malware check any files you save so you don't infect the fresh system.
100% guaranteed to be virus free.
Oh also reset all your passwords, even bank Shit. If someone has had remote access to you they will have keylogged you too.
