There be hacking going on

As a cautionary tale, beware that there is a lot of hacking going on after recent events overseas. My laptop has been hacked. I was on the phone with AT&T dealing with it. The Tech guy indicated that the amount of phone/laptop/computer hacking has gone up a lot. They are dealing with it a lot with their customers.

He had me go through the process to eliminate the hackers.
