Hello,

 

This is my very first post, although I don't consider myself a newb. Bear with me, 47 in a couple of days but been working with computers forever. My issue right now is: I got trouble  with two notebooks (1 brand spanking new Lenovo Flex 5) and a desktop.) I knew that I was hacked back in late September or beginning of October of last year but it was all laughed off here at home or was attempted to be tied up to the Equifax hacking scandal. I decided to clean these up, but I took a pause and had to show you guys these before I move forward and delete them. I took screenshots, pictures and I will post the images below.

​This is Windows Defender, and I know that although I have Avast installed installed as well, the director(ies) on all three are not in the right place as they should be. To top it off on the desktop there are 15-20 "map" files-Google Maps of places where apparently I've been! I will open that as another topic as well. The software that finds all these leftover registry items and that has been a lifesaver for me is Revo Uninstaller Pro.

 

NOTE: There's no Screenshot 1 and I couldn't rename them. My apologies if there are any repeats. 

 

I await your prompt response, as I dunno what to do now-either send the info to Lenovo, Microsoft, or what!

 

Thanks.

Why do you think Windows Defender was hacked? Your path looks normal to me.
