Tonight in the windmill thread WW suggested I go to Google Earth, and since I hadn't been there for a long time I decided it was a good idea. The site wanted me to download the program, so I did.
After it downloaded, I went to the Downloads folder to click/install it. That's when I got worried. I have a MacBook. When I plug in a camera, my iPhone, etc., it is listed on the left margin, with a kind of "equal" sign that I can click on. Well, on that screen was something/someone connected to my computer via FTP. I wish I would have written down the name, but the last name was something like Steinberg. Have I been hacked? Is this one of those programs that steals passwords, etc? I clicked to disconnect it, and now I can't find it, so I'm 'assuming' it's gone. I do have Norton on my computer, but I disabled it a long time ago because it slowed the machine so much, and I felt Mac-safe. Not feeling so safe right now. Suggestions as to what is was, and what I should do??? I've been in DR 2 months, and thank God I haven't done any online banking. Of course, I'm now dying to check my accounts, but don't dare. Am I overreacting? Never have seen anything like that before. Help! |
