there is no doubt that hacking and cyber
0:01
crime are on the rise in fact it is
0:04
estimated that hackers attack someone
0:05
online every 32 seconds while many of
0:08
them target companies and organizations
0:10
others go after private individuals in
0:12
an attempt to steal personal information
0:14
from computers cell phones and tablets
0:16
while cyber criminals will continue to
0:18
find new methods to infiltrate your
0:19
devices there are ways to remain
0:21
vigilant and aware of your computer
0:23
security status no one is asking to be
0:25
hacked of course but it's an unfortunate
0:27
reality for everyone and if this happens
0:29
to you here's how to tell if your
0:30
computer has been hacked before we begin
0:33
I want to use this opportunity to tell
0:34
you that there's so much hacking skills
0:36
and tools I can't share on YouTube
0:38
whether it's because of platform rules
0:40
or because some skills need deeper
0:42
hands-on explanations many of my videos
0:44
got deleted and that's why I created a
0:46
policy point learning community for you
0:48
a place where I can share everything
0:50
when you join you're not just getting
0:51
another course you're getting access to
0:53
complete ethical hacking guides the
0:55
tools and techniques I wish someone had
0:57
handed me when I was starting out and
0:58
here's the kicker this is the stuff I
1:00
don't teach on here no watered down
1:02
content no clickbait just raw actionable
1:05
knowledge on top of that you'll join an
1:07
exclusive community on Discord i pinned
1:09
the link in the comment section below
1:11

1:12
only available for those who are serious
1:14
about the journey now let's begin go
1:16
ahead and press Windows plus R to open
1:18
the run dialogue box then type N and
1:20
press enter to launch the Microsoft
1:22
Windows malicious software removal tool
1:24
once the tool opens click next and
1:26
you'll see three scanning options: quick
1:28
scan full scan and custom scan let's
1:30
start with quick scan select it then
1:32
click next to begin scanning all the
1:34
files on your computer for potential
1:35
threats wait for the process to complete
1:37
and once finished the results will be
1:39
displayed if no malicious software is
1:41
found your computer is secure however if
1:43
any threats are detected they will be
1:45
listed and the tool will automatically
1:47
remove them so you don't need to take
1:48
any further action now press Windows
1:50
plusR again type this word and hit enter
1:53
to open the user accounts window if you
1:55
notice any unfamiliar users listed
1:57
select the suspicious account and click
1:59
remove to revoke unauthorized access
2:02
moving on open settings search for
2:04
startup and select startup apps scan
2:06
through the list and if you find any
2:07
unknown applications that you don't
2:09
remember installing make sure to disable
2:11
them this prevents those apps from
2:13
launching automatically when your
2:14
computer starts which could be a
2:16
security risk if an unauthorized program
2:18
is running in the background
