@Tina again I cannot provide a conclusive answer but

mechanical stickiness is feasible, therefore relatively innocent

....saw a post earlier about people losing data off there puters...so back up offline always

Their

but I have observed vids in which they have recorded their o/s being controlled by an outside source

i found out that Q- the storm began 10/28/17 and Trump had said a storm is about to happen on https://www.gq.com/story/trump-storm-is-coming

sharing a desktop or taking one over has been around a long time

the maliciousness described by the NSA and such makes it quite feasible a computer or its o/s can be hijacked

esp. a Windoze

hmm

which i do NOT use

have you ever used that stuff

so you see logically it can go wither way

either\

I have experimented at home here that's all

I have worked linux as an enthusiast for years

well I used to now I talk to @Tina by typo

what stuff have you used

what is out there

all i know is about ddos

you mean NSA CIA software?

yes

no I have not dealt with that myself

well, things that hackers use i guess is what i am asking

I have just watched vids about it on youtube

I have seen vids. in which someone's computer is just overtaken entirely

well, i know someone is on my computer with me now

and e.g. masses of content in the file / program begin to be deleted

that was an unambiguous extreme example

as I said a desktop can be shared

the 'theories' are that an o/s like Windows has back door codes set in place that allow infiltration

vids. that describe that the codes set within can be activated remotely and are preserved on reboots within the o/s

so yes most sinister

linux is not immune but far less infiltrated and infiltratable

that is all. follow ?

now I have you nervous because I can guarantee you have MS Windows

such vids. I have observed many months ago now, remembering the scope of vids. of interest I have observed has been VERY broad

@Tina control alt delete and open task manager and check users on your computer....i doubt anyone is there

i keep my temp monitoring software up, when the temp gets too high for something i'm not doing then i suspect something. sometimes if i wait a bit, i might get a antivirus check report in then the temp drops. but if it doesn't show up, i reboot the pc

hard reboot, not os reboot
