My laptop was infected with viruses, what I can only assume were created for my machine. I frequented and still do, chat full of sociopaths who are trolls with computer skills. I ran every malware, antivirus, rootkit, mbr scanner detection software out there. None of them detect any viruses.
Meanwhile my laptop is experiencing every imaginable problem out there like; Blue screen of death, external HDD with family photos lost first sector rendering all of the HDD useless unless formatted, fingerprint scanner for authentication on haywire, speakers crackling, at one time cd bay would open and close on its own (I figured out how they did this trick), Brand new USB stick I used to ran Ubuntu from burned out after 1 hour, laptop battery reading that it can't hold charge, keyboard keys would stick, laggy mouse control, our ROKU began overheating and stopped connecting to the network, two LCD tv's connected to computers with HDMI cable for online video content viewing begun overheating and I can go on and on.
The trolls bragged in the open forum that they can see my network, and how many machines I have connected. Ohh yes, my routers were attacked with Ddos and UDP TCP floods, two linksys(s) burned out. I'm on the third one in three years. I change my IP address periodically. I installed Peer block and this helps like no firewall ever did. VPN hides my system details. I can see by the Trolls's reaction that they can't attack me as they used to before and are very upset, but my machine is still on the haywire. At one time I had 3 or 4 laptops connected to home network, and all 4 would misbehave. Further, we have 2 Ipads and 1 ipod and these 3 machines stopped remembering network passwords, all three at the same time.
I reset all 3 to the factory defaults including reset network, but it did not help. In the past 3 years, my family's 2 blackberries at one time connected to the network begun overheating even when disconnected from the network and then would lock up and burn the sim cards to a crisp.
Hmm what else,,,, now we're on android phones (not rooted), the phones started overheating also. I reset the phones to factory defaults and the battery problems went away. If anyone has an idea what can be done, please don't be shy.
Off topic, the people who did this are all computer scientists in eastern Europe with no jobs eager to spite any one from the USA just because, envy is a wicked character flaw. Advises such as, throw everything out, get new gear and stay away from chat rooms will be ignored, with all due respect of course
