Today I was in a Zoom call, right after it ended I got distracted for a couple seconds just to see that someone was browsing on my pc trying to get into my Paypal and bank account, as soon as I saw it I shut off the computer, then proceded to turn it on and scan for viruses. I’m pretty sure the scanner found the trojan I was looking for and so I deleted it, we’re talking about NetSupport RAT. So now I have a couple of questions: he didn’t get anything done (as far as I know) cause his action lasted for about 30 seconds at maximum, how much do I have to worry now? Is it possible that he was monitoring my screen before he took control over it? It seems such a strange coincidence that right after I get distracted after a Zoom call he enters (my camera was on too). Is eradicating the trojan enough? Is there something else I should look for to make sure they do not have access anymore? I used the pc throughout the day without encuntering anymore issues.

      It’s a high probability.

      The virus scanner might have found it, but a reinstall will mean it’s deffo gone. Sleep easier then and can happily reset any passwords etc.
