How can I see if incoming traffic hackers have deleted files on my computer?

Ben er ooit geboren, lang geleden.
Ben er al zeker zo'n 25 jaar niet meer geweest.
Ben nu een wereldburger die in Hengelooo woont.

GAAF!!! Doe jij AVAST Forum evangelist voor de kost? Als ik vragen mag

I asked Eddy if AVAST Forum Evangelist was his paid job? I also said I would understand if he did not answer this question, in a Dutch way

Only those with Avast Team in their details are Avast team members. Everyone else including Avast Evangelist are volunteer avast users, who freely give their time to try and help other avast users.

DAVIDR: Do you think a latent GOTOMEETING installation, reminiscence present from windows 8.1 to 10 upgrade,  can be exploited by hackers? Is a kind of PCANYWHERE I think. I mean reminiscence from was partly removed during windows 10 upgrade, maybe entries removed from registry, because its not under windows 10 in start menu or program search.

My NORTON Utilities cleans every day 10's to 100's registry settings (repairs also) by the way, maybe this makes the GOTOMEETING latent

Sorry, I have to defer to essexboy's experience as a qualified malware removal specialist and instructor at geekstogo.com.

In virtually all programs where there is a will there is likely to be a way, first find a vulnerability and craft an exploit. Recently in the forums there were complaints because avast's software updater automatically downloaded a and installed a Skype update.

Now I would never have begun to think that there would be a vulnerability that could be exploited (some would call hacked), so it must have been a serious threat for avast to take the unprecedented action of automatically updating it.

Oh thanks very much! Yes! There was even a famous day zero exploit in something as "simple" as a hash algorithm implementation, I saw on TV, if I recall correctly

Sorry, not a fan of Norton Utilities. These types of utilities usually do more harm than good.
Like David, I'll defer to  essexboy on any speculation as to this infection. He's the expert.

If you do not use any internet facing programme like go to meeting or team viewer then I would always recommend that you uninstall it

Just as info.
I replied to him in a pm.

I have, somewhat twisted = I mean as in complicated , proof that these files (art photo's) were deleted by incoming traffic hackers (stalking, hunting and tracking me down):

• I uploaded them to gmail message
• Then I saw a day later they were deleted
• But were not in recycle bin
• Older deleted photo's are still in recycle bin
• So they were there! Because how could I have uploaded them to gmail?
• Or "Search Everything" is fooling me   https://www.voidtools.com/ 
• Search Everything can't find them, and also not the directory they were in

Strange that the deleted files are not with the older deleted files in the recycle bin, the only way that that is possible is to my knowledge if you have for example an USB stick with files, if you delete them on the USB stick then they would also not appear in the recycle bin, however they are still deleted from the USB stick. OK this proof than does not hold water for the authorities.

The by incoming traffic hackers files were on the D: drive. To get water tight proof of this fact would cost me US $ 5,000 at Fox-IT Delft, they probably scan the layers of the D: drive hard disk. I can only spend a couple of hundred euro (US $ 100 to 200)

PUBLIC: My files are suddenly back somehow. I know it sounds weird. Moreover they were deleted on AVAST / windows 10 / Cable sessions. And got back on UBUNTU / WIFI sessions. The only explanation I can think of is a hardware virus (or firmware virus). I have heard these viruses can be in all computer parts embedded programs or integrated in the microchips. So in the mother board, hard disks, CPU, network adapter you name it straight from the factory. There is lots of money in user data, so your internet activity could go to hundreds of bonafide and malicious third parties. Can be used to monitor and to PCANYWHERE stealth remote control too. Wolf packs playing, stalking, tracking and hunting me down.

Hardware viruses are just proof of concept, they are exceedingly difficult to install..  If the files are not being seen by windows but are by Ubuntu then maybe run disc check

They are back under windows too, however I had 2 consecutive sessions with UBUNTU that the OS could not mount DATA (D: drive), DATA could have been locked by a hackers process??? However UBUNTU constantly freezes and WIFI is very unstable under UBUNTU

PS: In the DEBIAN forum someone said for another issue that they (hardware viruses) are straight from the factory BUILD IN could be bugs in the hardware integrated circuits, firmware day zero exploits. GET IT???
