dodokan 0 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 So i scan my computer with eset but it finds no viruses but whenever i connect a mail account to my computer it gets hacked. I consider about formatting my computer (cleaning every ssd and os). If i format my laptop with like usb does that clean all kinds of viruses am i safe after that? I will scan with eset after format too i wanted to do a system recovery but i get winload.efi error so i cant do that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to provide more details. Are you referring to connecting to your e-mail provider account via a browser or through an e-mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird? What is your basis for stating your computer is hacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodokan 0 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 I mean for example today i connected my mail to my windows account so it shows my mail account in settings. I was not connected to internet this evening but when i login to my account i saw that there has been like 300 spam mails sent from me to different accounts and when i check login logs i see login attempts from different countries. I connected my account via browser and microsoft teams. I think that i am hacked because this only happens when i connect any of my mail account to this computer.
