[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 613892, member: 37647"] There are plenty of ways for hackers to get into a computer. It's hard to know on someone else's computer what the reason was, we can't know what they did wrong. A reinstall is the right way to deal with it. In order to prevent it from happening again, the very first step is to keep the operating system and software updated. The second step is to teach the user proper computer habits. The third step is to install proper security software, and educate the user not to ignore warnings from their security software. If they are click-happy, then you have to put them in a lockdown setup, for instance, Voodooshield on automatic pilot, or Comodo firewall with autosandbox enabled, or Avast hardened mode/aggressive + disabling the wscript files. And don't use Windows XP. It is too hard to make it secure. Windows 10 is the most secure Windows operating system, so if you have a choice, show a preference for Win 10. [/QUOTE]
