I'm on my computer doing various things and all of a sudden a small window pops up. It says Auto Search, looks like it's searching docs/files/folders and there's a flash light. I did not click on anything to start this. Any idea? I stopped it with ctrl/alt/delete but hoping it doesn't mean someone was searching remotely on my computer.
just run your antivirus i use avast it has a boot scan so if yours have. use it too.. i had those happen to me mine is music playing out of nowhere i swear it scared me!!! definitely not my type of music too!! i only listen to 80s music and the music playing is hard rock metal which i loathe.
You have a router in your network? If so it's doubtful someone got into your computer.
Yes, I have a router.
