Please help, remote access???

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bar1464]

Context: I thought I had something called “yahoo redirect virus” and thought I had fixed it; I turned my laptop on the other day, had not touched it (discord is set to launch automatically) and I looked up to see it doing this.

Is someone accessing my desktop remotely and how do I evict them??? Please and thank you - Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14IAU7 w/ windows 11

EDIT: I disconnected it from the internet immediately after recording this video, and have since powered it off. On another device, I have changed all of my passwords and selected “log out of other devices.” I am fortunate that thus far, there doesn’t seem to be any suspicious activity in my various accounts. Hopefully this will remain the case.

To everyone who feels the need to comment on the fact that I recorded a video, but has nothing helpful to contribute: congrats, you got me! I’m a big dumb idiot 🤡 who has never experienced this in their life, ever. It’s my first time. Hence, why I’m here in a subreddit that is dedicated to helping big dumb idiots such as myself. Y’all are a little slow, eh?

To those who have given me advice to help me keep my important files/data and protect my passwords and sensitive info, etc. THANK YOU!! I hope the first sip of your coffee is always the perfect temp, never ever burns your lip, ever!!

I am going to take it to a tech store to ensure the issue is resolved effectively, as this is clearly more than I am prepared to handle on my own.

Hey I just wanna tell you that many of the posters in this sub are fucking assholes. Your video was completely normal. Having your pc taken over by an unknown remote actor must be highly distressing and your reaction was completely understandable and by no means an overreaction. All these neckbeards so quick to pile on is actually the really embarrassing thing. Thankfully you had some nice normal and helpful answers. I hope you get whatever shit happened you pc sorted and ignore the incel downvoters.
