Author Topic: So something/someone forgeted up my laptop.  (Read 1040 times)

So, as I was finally beginning to calm down and not be so suspicious of going to websites with some forgeted up viruses and being less paranoid about a so-called "stalker" going around where I am, this happens.

So I go into my room after school, put up my laptop's screen (I always put it down before I turn it off because sometimes my cats will walk on my laptop), turn it on, and this is what I see;  A completely different desktop (it looks like a default windows desktop, the ones in the slideshows and all that) and a bunch of my icons were gone.

After panicking for a minute, I do the sensible thing and system restored my computer back to yesterday, and now everything is back to normal.

There are two things that seem strange to me, though;

1. I left Steam updating yesterday, it had a fairly large update for me.
2. I found a pen that I've never seen before, either that or I just never paid attention to it, but I don't remember it being there before.

My grandmother says she never saw or heard anybody come inside, and i'm sure nobody climbed through my window because then I would most likely wake up and see them.

Also, another thing, a couple days ago I ran a virus scan with Malwarebytes and it didn't detect a thing, so yeah.

Do you have family members who are douches? They could've done it. Also, why would you visit websites with viruses? That may have been the cause. Also, that pen may be a family members pen as you stated you did not see it.

Parents probably got on to check your internet history so they can ground you for watching gay research.

No, no family members who are douches.

And also, I said I was paranoid about visiting websites with viruses one time, in other words extremely cautious about it. What I meant in OP was that I wasn't going to be so alert as I was before, because before I would literally go to no other website at all if it wasn't in my bookmarks bar or if I hadn't visited it before.

And yeah, the pen may have been a family member's pen but why would they be in my room?

Even if they did, why delete a bunch of icons and change the background as well?

Do you share a room with anyone? It may be most likely a family member using the computer (Unless it's yours only) to do some stuff.

No, I don't.

Why cant you just install an antivirus

why can't you use your brain and read the whole op for once

Virus probably got removed if you DID have one before the system restore.

Still, that's really weird.

Ratted?

How? My laptop was shut off all day before I turned it on today. I thought R.A.T's only worked if you had an internet connection and if your computer was on?

Did you check if the theme randomly changed or if it remanded the same
I was just guessing if it was a rat but idfk

The theme remained the same.

Also, right now I have a malwarebytes scan running and I disconnected from the internet.
