third party control
« on: June 15, 2012, 03:44:12 PM »
Can someone tell me How I can detect if my PC has been compromised by a third party control? I ran all my scans, but  shows NO threats.

My browser changed all by itself....to IE from FF.  My keyboard wouldnt work, unable to type text.  When I went to control Pane, I clik on one and all were highlighted and a window asked me if I wanted to open ALL of the programs.  Seems all is working fine now, but I am not sure and worried.
