rkinks35 1 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hey Guys, While I've been on my computer I randomly notice a black screen with a ton of code that pops up and disappears quickly. I'm a little concerned that there are tracking services running in the background tracking what I am doing on my computer. Whether it be a virus I downloaded, or something gaining access to my computer. I was wondering if anybody had the same issues? Also, Wondering after looking at all the things running in the background with Windows 8, What can I safely get rid of and should I be concerned that somebody is tracking my everything on my personal computer?? Looking forward to thoughts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 177 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Agreed Dan, Also I run the full paid version of malwarebytes and their other package anti-exploit. You can normally pick up a 3 computer license at a local office supply store for $30 for a year. Doesn't replace antivirus, but it certainly augments it. Since instituting that with Norton, my laptop has stayed clean, clean, clean for over 8 months. Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
