[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1082187"] You should create a separate thread, in it you should detail, what you were doing, the symptoms you experienced that lead you to believe you were hacked. I state this because Chromebooks have been available for over 10 years now. There has not been a single case of a user's Chromebook getting infected with a virus, or being hacked. A user can find themselves with an issue if they install malicious apps, get hit by phishing scams, use unsafe online habits, or install malicious extensions. Its highly unlikely your Chromebook is hacked is what I'm trying to convey and more then likely one of the other issues I stated. If it is hacked though, you should report it to Google, I hear they pay well to see how that happened. [/QUOTE]
