signals that you have been hacked
Fake antivirus messages
In recent times they have been seen less but never go out of style: fake antivirus alerts (other than the antivirus program you are using) - considered among the most certain signs that your system has been attacked.
Once the message has been displayed, the damage is done and consequently it is too late to take action on the intrusion.
How does it work? The fake scan, which always finds tons of "viruses", is a lure to get you to buy their product.
Unwanted browser toolbars
This is a very common sign of misuse of your computer.
Most browsers (from Google, to FireFox) allow you to review installed and active toolbars, so just remove those that have not been installed voluntarily and in any case remove even those you are unsure of.
Ransom message
This is the golden age of ransomware (such as the famous Cryptolocker), i.e. malware (malicious software) created to disturb the activities of a computer, steal sensitive information or display unwanted advertisements in order to obtain a ransom in exchange for their decryption.
If you're lucky, some of the ransomware messages come from programs that don't block your data (known as scareware) and consequently restarting your computer is enough to make it disappear
Redirected Internet Searches
Many hackers make a living by redirecting your browser to a link other than the one you want. Unfortunately, to date many of the redirected internet searches are well hidden from the user through the use of additional proxies, so bogus results are never returned to warn the user.
Frequent redemption popups
This sign of violation is one of the most annoying. When you get random browser pop-ups from websites that don't normally generate them, it means your system has been compromised. Random pop-ups are typically generated by one of the above signals above. For example, you need to get rid of fake toolbars or other programs to stop displaying malicious pop-ups.
The online password is not working
If you are typing your password online correctly and it doesn't work, you may be hacked. It is usually necessary to try again, because sometimes sites have technical issues that cause the valid password to be not accepted for a short period of time.
But if you realize that your current password is no longer working, a hacker has probably logged in for you and changed it to keep you out.
