As the title says, i had left my laptop on hibernate during the night and when i opened it back up the next morning, my wallpaper suddenly changed into a picture of an anime character? There was even a shortcut to the characters Wikipedia and the picture that was used for the wallpaper on my home screen. Am i being hacked? I live with nobody that would pull this type of prank on me. Nobody touched my laptop since last night, what is happening???
Run a windows defender scan, no need to install such pointless software like malwarebytes
Exactly, nowadays windows defender is much more competent than it used to be.
MalwareBytes and Windows Defender should not be treated as a binary. Neither one completely supplants the other.
Defender is fantastic for real-time monitoring and will stop the majority of threats that target your machine. It is, however, not infallible. It can and will miss things and let some threats through, which a MalwareBytes scan will pick up and remove.
I can’t take anyone seriously who insists that you ONLY need Defender or that you ONLY need MalwareBytes. You don’t technically NEED either, but together they form a much more complete protection system than either one alone.
