Is this bad????

davioo

Sorry to bother you guys once again with my problems but earlier today, I was just messing around on the internet and a pop-up came up. I tried to close it but accidently clicked on it ( Facepalm I know) So basicly i didnt think it was that much of a big deal until fuckin paypal randomly opened. Yeah you guessed it someone was controlling my computer. They started to type some info and I was freaking out! I unplugged my internet and did a system restaure of like 4 hours. Nothing happened after that. Im currently running a virus scan and so far it looks like my pc is clean.

So I was wondering if you guys could give me tips on what to do now. I just wanna make sure the person who did it is not on my computer anymore.

Thank you so much guys!

It is not possible to gain access over someones computer through an internet link. What most likely happened was an animation that looked like someone was typing in paypal to scare you. Sites do this all the time with fake virus scans, but that doesnt mean it is actually scanning your comp.

Courouke, there are no sides. Your post was stupid and facepalm worthy. You clearly did not read the entirety of spartans post, or took no time to think about what he was saying before posting.

lol, this is on coro's behalf....

I however like the lmgtfy, it makes it more clear on what davioo was dealing with
