- Disconnect your PC from your Network
- Login to Microsoft and change your Windows login password first from your phone or another PC. Then do the same with Email, Banking, Social Media.
- Use Passphrases, not passwords. Passwords are for old twats just begging to be hacked.
- Enable 2FA on everything. 2FA by Text is ok, but Microsoft Authenticator is alot better.

After you have done all of the above, run a virus scan.

Check your user list and make sure there are no unauthoraized accounts. Delete any you find.

Reboot.

If you have a restore point you can try restoring from that spot, but before to delete any weird looking user accounts right away and run a virus scan again.




If its clean, reconnect to the Internet then do a software update to your operating system.
