Please help! I think my system has been compromised, how do I tell? I prepare highly confidential financial documents and am very concerned about the security of my system. I see numerous unidentifiable files throughout my computer, ie. I cannot perform system restore or any other system information tasks, I cannot access user accounts, and even when I'm in safe mode, Administrator account I receive "access denied" errors when trying to access files. When I try to access user accounts I just get a blank screen with the window outline. Even my bios wont let me access page 2! Please tell me what's really going on with my PC! Am I just paranoid?
