More info?)
Before otherwise going online or using the internet for anything else, did
you (1) enable the Windows Firewall or a third-party one, (2) install all
available Windows Updates & reboot, if directed to do so, and (3) install
the AV and immediately update it?
If not, you've prolly been hijacked.
