How can you know if your computer has been hacked?

Answer 1

You can know that if your computer has blue screens, pop ups (if you have an anti-virus it will alert you and tell you that you got a virus) it will take more than 60 seconds for your email to load, and your computer will shut down automaticly.

Answer 2

Most of the time you get a virus. A virus does not allways mean you have been hacked, but is one way. Another way of knowing you have been hacked, is seeing changes to your searches and web activity. Noticing changes in personal life as far as banking, shopping online, etc. can also let you know you have been hacked. If you have good protection on your computer such as a good anti virus/spam protection, you can possibly be properly notified of any attempts to get into your computer. You can also use password protection.

Answer 3

Random web addresses and requests to go to websites could pop up, sometimes, it will just not turn on and also there may be a warning; another sign is your computer going slow or getting continaully frozen

Answer 4

First of all, you need to make sure that your computer is not available to hackers. For that, you might want to disconnect your computer from the network. Or you can download one of free firewalls and put security in it to highest settings(Comodo Pro). After that, you need to find out the infected block of OS and try to repair it. The best way to do that is to use a good anti virus (Avira). Try to Google your problem. Because you did not specify the problem, it's virtually impossible to help you. There are thousands viruses and trojans and there is no universal treatment.

Answer 5

First of all you need to isolate your computer, clean it from malicious software (use several different firewalls), do not use administrative account on your computer and so on. Try to install firewall. And one of the most important things, you need to find out how they hacked you and which software they have used. When you figure it out, use google to find solution for your problem.

Answer 6

Usually it's a good idea to disconnect it from the network. Remove all viruses and software which allows intruders to control the computer. Use firewalls in future.
