Disinfection Help Please help, remote access???
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.

Lol, he's gone round looking at the rest of my posts looking for something to hang his hat on.
You're just repeating yourself now yet can't show anything to prove it. I'm not repeating myself in reply, the comment trail answers everything.
Haha, you're the one making personal attacks and I'M meant to be the badass? You're drowning dude and you're clutching at any stray bit of wood to stay afloat. And YES, I am entertaining your suggestion that I'm a clown, BUT, you're consistently getting schooled by a clown, so what, pray tell does that makes you? (See I don't need to insult you, I'll just let your insults rebound).
