[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 1117296, member: 53544"] If you really are a target of "sophisticated hackers" that want to share your personal information as you said, you should re-evaluate your online life. To start with, delete all your social networks account and creater fresh ones. For these ones. do not befriend anyone but people you explicitly know (and know for sure it's them). Then set all these accounts in "private" mode. Restrict Facebook profile. Make sure no information you post is public, and do not include personal information in your profiles (this includes phone numbers, addresses, cities, relationships). Second, install a privacy-oriented OS like Tails. Else, any Linux distro will be safer than Windows. If you don't want to use Linux, then stay with Windows, but do a clean install and immediately install a robust antivirus. Use one that includes an Application Control module (like Kaspersky) or install a third-party software that offers anti-executable capabilities. The importance of a white-list based security software instead of a black-list (first gen antivirus) is very important. If your first line of defense is trusting an antivirus judgment on wether a file is safe or not, you're gonna become infected again. VoodooShield is a good example of anti-executable. Once you've covered these points, and you're sure you are malware-free and protected against malware (with anti-execution/application control modules, and a robust antivirus with a firewall), then proceed to change all passwords and add 2FA to all your accounts. This is to lock out these "hackers" from your accounts. After all this steps, all you need is to surf the web safely and learn the cybersecurity 101s to not become infected. [/QUOTE]
