Someone hacking into computer remotly
Hi, I know I've had bad past experiences with this forum (pirating windows), but I don't do that kind of stuff anymore. I was on my laptop today just doing what I do everyday, banking, youtube, etc, and I noticed that all of a sudden while on banking my keyboard started typing random garbage all over the screen. notepad was open and I typed " get off my [ ] pc" to which a bunch of random dots appeared after I typed that. I immediately disconnected from the internet and changed my bank account settings on a different device. Please note that right after I disconnected from the internet all this random stuff stopped happening. Should I do a factory restore? AKA clean install? I really don't want to risk anyone getting into my personal information. Obviously I would be moving everything off the hard drive onto an external one. My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium.
