Watch for computer attacks

I typically have at least one of three 1 TB usb drives plugged into my computer, and at night I generally just put it to sleep. This morning when I got up, I had no internet connection according to the message on my screen. My IP provider was able to help me badger my computer to work again but all IP addresses had to be re-entered manually.

This evening as I am watching a movie on youtube, I noticed file explorer open, but was able to shut that activity down. This after running malware bites this afternoon. Malware bites uncovered nothing.

I've unplugged the external hard drives and when I go to bed, I will shut the computer OFF.

I've asked around and none of the technicians in this area are recommending any virus software except malwarbites, and most say just rely on MS file defender on Win10.

This is just a friendly warning to those who need it. I know that most people on this site are much more knowledgeable than I am and have their own solutions.

It could be anyone trying to do who knows what? I've been very active politically in opposition to Drump and his minions, and very supportive to immigrants, so it could be anyone from Isis to a greedy Romanian hacker to the US government trying to get in.

I may have to actually learn to use Linux and live without the big name software folk, but that seems really extreme to me right now.
