david Unsay what
srssly? how tf are u gonna hack their minds which contains all the knowledge about the hack?
Suggestion: scan your computer DAILY. This would allow you to always know when your computer is compromised.
A
An antivirus software doesn't know all the viruses in the world so you could still have a virus even if you scan daily
They should make a software that checks if you have an actual virus in your body

How to scan???

Just by looking at the thumbnail, I thought that if your computer has a green light shining on the top of the computer frame, your computer has been HACKED.

5:06 I have this as a virus where at random times, it would always appear a random website on safari, and sometimes spams the same website 10 times when I get of my Mac computer. It doesn’t like bring you to a different website when you type in a website link, but it’s like ads

Specifically the one where you are redirected to a different website. I had a virus called Hades that made it pop up. New either gambling or 18+ ad every time I try to enter a new website even just changing videos on UA-cam

I use a foot-switch extension cable (often used for Christmas tree lights) to plug my modem & router into.

Cursor moving on its own could be very scary!!!
I'm Using my mom's Laptop And it always does that...
But this happened with me twice and never after that , i guess it was bcoz of my mouse position ?
It is a common bug. If you spill something on the touch pad or there are dust in the touchpad it will start moving on its own and clicking everything
Not if you login to the same steam account that u have on you other computer and ur sis is plsaying the same game as u from steam, then it's not scary
That is happing on me that why im here
*Another foremost indication of a hacked computer system:* Beside any image, if you see the "Type" mentioned as "Application", you're strictly bound to forbid yourself from opening that image, for it's a certain indication of a backdoor file (A file in the executable format (.exe) which makes it facile to cyber thieves to break through your system). No image would get its type framed as an "Application", either "JPG", "PNG", "GIF" and many more such image types.
What do you do?

My computer was hacked once and I legit cried cuz the computer had real money in it and all was lost
It's impossible if any computer or laptop in this world isn't hacked.
the thumbnail says everything
The one thats called hacked had webcam light on

Ok
Yeah, if you turned on your webcam and a light turns on, you've been hacked.

My computer has been hacked today, like I tried logging in and I bring my dad in and he tried fixing it after that we heard glitching sounds of two of my teachers talking at the same time after that I have to wait for 2 days to get back in.
??
The best way to prevent the webcam thing is to just cover it up with a sticky note or something. That's what I do.
same
Same cuz hackers can go in the webcam and look what ur doing
Yan Smith they see every fap
Kilana Skye I use duck tape
I don't even have one...
From someone who knows alot about computers.
THIS VIDEO HAS NO GOOD INFORMATION FOR 10 MINUTES WORTH
My solution if you want to know if your being hacked.
Press CTRL + ALT + DEL on your keyboard. > Go to task manager
(If you can't open task manager the damage has already being done.)
Go to processors and click CPU. If something looks unfamiliar and is chewing up alot of data, this is usually capped out at a certain number.
If you have viruses then I suggest you back everything you want onto a external hard drive or a usb.
Sign out of your account by logging off from Win 8 / Win 10
Hold shift on your keyboard while clicking restart through the login home screen.
You should be directed to a help menu. Simply click trouble shoot and click reset this pc.
General Files Will Be Saved.
Just in case make sure to back it up. Basically all applications and program files will be deleted and all modified settings will reset.
true, they have no ideea about PC's
Proxeii if you have the Firefox Browser it's a RAM Consumer
How do you back up
Disguiseiwa98 do I really have to point this out? "If something looks unfamiliar and is chewing up a lot of data" Dear God read people!
Roblox Player most data is stored in your user directory. Go to C:\Users\%USERNAME% and backup all of that to a usb drive. Or cd ~ aka home directory for Mac and Linux users. BTW if it isn't obvious backup = copy and paste. The more you know!
Thanks Bright Side, now my Computer is safe :]
It depends on the virus, really
Some viruses will let you know that you have been hacked, others are totally invisible and do things in silence, and you would never know
What should you do?
I decided to stop using computer.
Chhay Meng yea good idea
Use Linux, Live version only booted from USB stick, kinda hard to hack :)
Next step download kali linux and hack the hacker :D
Sadly, I did the same, I just ignored the problem for years now.
*_Script Kiddie detected._*
You should be safe with a simple Manjaro, Mint or Debian installation
Chhay Meng or just get a new one
Why does this make me scared of my laptop 😔

It's time to call specialist,what a smart advice!
Straight up, the best way to know you've been hacked is when you see a large charge on a bank card by someone in Seattle and you live in New Hampshire!
U don need to worry about it, as long as u don have a computer

As a computer scientist, I cringed a few times... At these points, I think you haven't done the research enough.
#11 isn't hacking. It's an infection that nowadays comes in the form of adware or scareware.
#8 - again, this might not be hacking. Adware isn't hacking, it's installing software that pushes advertisements.
#6 - I'm sorry, but I think that this isn't always a sign that your computer is hacked. From cables that gone bad to drivers that don't work anymore because of an OS update... or the external device itself going bad... It's a bit narrow minded to say it's a sign of the hackers.
#4 - well.... what if an antivirus deleted those files because they got infected...? In my experience, I saw this happening on a hard drive that was dying.
#2 - *ahum* driver issues.
#1 - The issue I have with this point is the same as my summary here:
While some things you say MIGHT point to a possible hack, various points in this video aren't 100% guaranteed signs of a hacked computer. Something can be wrong locally or the computer get infected with malware or something similar. Which again, isn't signs of hacking YOUR computer. There are things like drive-by-downloads where hacked websites open a so called pop under window with the size of 0x0 (so it never displays) and quitely downloads and installs malware and/or adware into your computer.
Also, the older the computer, the slower it will run. The more you use the computer, the slower it will run. That's how computer work.
The video itself is pretty well made and visually pretty okay, but some technical details weren't. I'm quite sure that more experienced computer technicians will find even more flaws with the information presented in this video. So, please, let this video be a starting point instead of a "this is all fact." video.
Mine_Zone perfect. I wish I had the time to do that.
Mine_Zone use NyQuil or something along those lines

On 5 there are ways to repair if you search on the search engine and get redirected to a website you don't know. You can restore your browser's settings. You can also just reinstall your browser if your able to delete it or just factory reset your computer (I recommend to save your data Ex:external storage device)
Also random files popping on your desktop and your antivirus gave u more than 400+ infection alarms probably a good idea to reset your pc right away

*cursor starts moving randomly to random locations*
I have a few reasonable pointers.
1. Printers.
If the printer isn't working; It could simply be the plugs, the paper tray or ink cartridges need to be refilled, or the printer has a parer jam somewhere inside. Though a hacked system is possible and always likely to happen, people just never know when.
2. The camera.
The camera could have a case of being hacked, but not always. As with printers, it could just be the plugs.
3. Once more with internet.
I have personal experience with this, so I know for the most part it's normal. Usually, like the problem I have is when I'm connected to an Internet router, so I tend to get a slow signal, even on five bars. Whoa. Other situations could very much suggest a hacked system.
5th one always happened to me...After I reset my laptop (not just because I get redirected to other sites) I decided to not download chrome but instead use Opera :p
When you reboot your computer it gets worse until after sometime

Once i downloaded a game from unknown website and when i run that game my pc was hacked and evry program stopped working every file's extensions were changed even i change it back it doesn't work there were not my personal data or something important so i cleared everything and installed windows again from that incident i never downloaded cracked game.
My cursor always moves on its own. I always thought it was some electric shot on my mouse but my mouse wasn't moving.
the one about unknown programs can be a little misleading. sometimes those programs may be the important system processes a user sees in task manager. most people should look it up if they see anything in task manager before ending or deleting it
