I think some malicious software has been installed on my computer and is either keylogging or sending my passwords out to someone. In the past week my facebook, instagram, gmail and other accounts have been logged into. I change the passwords on my phone and things are good for a few days but the moment I log into them on the home PC they're all compromised again. Gmail suggested the windows device has also been compromised. I ran a malware bytes but it didn't find anything, the pc seems to be running fine with no popups or anything but I keep getting compromised. Help!
Let's do one more quick fixlist as before to remove some deadwood (You have some remnants of McAfee's True Key foistware which is causing errors) and a suspicious Alternate Data Stream. This one should be quick and probably will not require a reboot but it would be a good idea to reboot before running FRST again.
I've taken your suggestions and uninstalled adblock plus in exchange for Ublock Origin and I've removed and redowloaded Origin. But in the process of doing this I noticed that someone had hacked into my Duolingo account now and changed the email locking me out. I've contacted duolingo support to get this resolved but I can only assume a monster would do something so malicious for a language learning software.
I understand it is possible to hack into devices like Ring Cameras and home automation devices so make sure they have uptodate software. Ditto for your router. You should change the default password on your router if you haven't already. Wouldn't hurt to reset the router to default first in case it's already been hacked. (You will have to redo any WiFi setup so you want to be connected to the router via an Ethernet cord when you do the reset) Also make sure that your Windows' login (Gerty) has a strong password. One thing you could do tho it's a bit of a pain is to create a new login say BigG and make it an administrator with a strong password. Then log in to BiG and remove Gerty's Admin privileges. That will reduce the chances of a hack doing major damage but anytime you want to install software you will have to right click and run as admin then give the BigG password.
So in this order I: changed the wifi password to something very strong, then while the wifi was off on the PC I made a new admin account, then revoked admin priv for Gerty. Then I changed gerty's pw to something stronger as well. Then i reconnected to the wifi. I'm going through the laborious process of changing all the pwords to everything I own whether Its been compromised or not and I suggested to my family they do the same. The ring pword is also being changed (since its not my ring camera but my mothers).
