Gday guys,

I left my computer on overnight idling with the screen off. But when I woke up this morning and jumped on, all my files and folders were moved around the desktop, my back round had changed and my Windows 10 start menu had all been resized and colour changed.

WTF just happened? Was I hacked? 

 

BTW I have Kaspersky internet security and antivirus.

 

Thanks

You might have got a virus or... somebody in your house decided to play a prank.

No virus because I did a full Virus scan of all my disks and NAS. No body in my house has the ability to prank me because a) my sister is only 4, b) my parents don't even know how to use the tv, and c) how could they even get in with a password protected PC?

Back up your files to be safe. Increase your firewall settings if possible so you can watch anything using your ports. Might not be anything but can't hurt to take some precautions

Many firewalls have settings that allow you to block your ports unless you authorize their use. Should be fairly user friendly if you're not too experienced with that sort of thing
