Hello and good evening, unfortuneately, I'm pretty sure my computer has been hacked. Can anyone please help!!!

First, I can't access certain programs, files, and even some of the settings on my pc and I am the only administrator account. It gives me some kind of message saying access denied, or something like that.

I'm not sure what else you need to know to help me, but please let me know asap!! Thank you!

Hi there :)

For help, you'll want to head to the Malware section of this forum.

Specifically, follow all the instructions in this link (click here).

Step 5 will explain how you post a log. Make sure you start a new topic in the Malware forum (click here).

One of our experts will review your log and help you clean your machine like new :)

Just beware the forum is very busy, please don't reply to your own thread as it will look like somebody is already helping you. If it is 3 days or longer with no reply, feel free to post a New Topic in the Waiting Room (click here).

Cheers
