Anyway windows never showed me any sign of haveing an infection so as a precaution I hard wipes both my drives in my system 3 days ago and reinstalled windows only to run a virus scan and have windows tell me I have a Trojan.....  windows says it quarantined it but I know they are useing my gpu because it is under constant load even tho all my programs say it’s not.. anyway the drives are now of the pc I’m scared to try to put them In my only working pc because I don’t need my laptop infected . Tonight as I’m posting this they tried to get into my Twitter account ! I need help and I need help fast I don’t feel safe anymore useing any electronic becouse nothing is safe what do i do !!!!!!

add 2-factor authentication and change your passwords.

reformat and make a secure key pass database if you want to store your passwords (store the key file to a small usb and connect it to your computer only if you need a password and remove it right after)

 

also be safer install Kaspersky free antivirus and run it while you are browsing and download stuff from the internet

If GPU idle temps are normal, then it's very unlikely it's being used remotely regardless of what the integrated status LEDs show on your card. Definitely change all passwords to compromised accounts, or better yet every account you have.

CPU: AMD Sempron 2400+ / MOBO: Abit NF7-S2G / GPU: WinFast A180BT 64MB / RAM: Mushkin DDR333 256MBx2 / HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 120GB

I have already changed most passwords if not all but some how he is digging up passwords about account I forgot about.. I could try the usb option but it seems like a hassle. I’m pretty sure the drives are toast I wiped them both several time to no avail and it took many hours I have my friend looking at them useing a different mechine right now to see it he can fix it but the reason I’m nervous about my gpu is if I start the pc in safe mode the gpu don’t go under load instantly when windows loads. It has never done this until now and it’s not normal
