Hi. I am new here and this may not be a big issue to some but it really bugs me. Last year I bought a new laptop and decided to become involved in some online discussions involving controversial subjects. Since then I have had more computer problems than ever. Here are some examples. Constantly changing permissions for camera and microphone. Receiving outdated or "cloned" browsers that refuse to abide by their initial settings. G mail hack which also infected a phone. Today I received a DDOS originating from Fastly out of Atlanta Georgia. No one has taken any money (yet) but its just the basic idea of it that I find unsettling. I hold no position of importance for anyone to have this kind of interest in me so I am open to suggestions and will answer questions honestly. Also 2 weeks ago I was digging around in my sytem files and suddenly ran into some pages that seemed to be conversing with themselves. They stated that "secret" defender and anti virus pages had been discovered and that shutdown would commence. I thought it was a joke. It wiped the system image from my computer. I had to purchase a new copy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and have a great night.
