Hey guys
Please, no judgmental comments here as I have been trying to deal with this problem for a while.
I've been going to youporn way too often since i got my mac a year ago.
I know, I know...shouldn't have done it, but I've reached a point where I realize I have a problem, so that's why I'm here with questions.
I figured that I needed to express my concerns about having been hacked over the years, or the possibility of a virus on my laptop.
I'm obviously stupid and not computer-savvy because I don't have any kind of anti-virus program on my macbook...I also just realized that my Firewall was not even on. Is this a sign that someone hacked into my computer and changed that, or is that something that you had to manually do anyway?
I have had my macbook for a year and 1 month now. Aside from the fact that it isn't as fast as it used to be when I first got it, I haven't really noticed anything weird. The only thing that pops into my mind right now is that twice, I went into Hotmail and found a bunch of these postmaster delivery failure messages in my inbox, and I had not attempted to send any of those messages. I clicked on one just to see what it was, but DID NOT open the attachment. Did I put my computer at risk by opening the message (not the attachment though)?
In case this information helps, I never downloaded any of the porn. I never signed into any website or gave up my password as far as I can remember. YP is like Youtube...so I've only ever clicked on videos to watch, and from what I remember, I was never bounced to any random site while I was on yp.
I'm just looking for answers that might ease my stress..I've just been extremely worried with the idea that someone could have remotely accessed my computer to steal my files and whatnot. What are the odds that this could've happened, and are there any symptoms/signs that I should be looking out for?
