I am not sured I got haked or not. Sometimes there were recovered files (named Robin) inside my trash bin, looks like somebody is monitoring or look after my computer. Is that true for any users?

    Most likely not hacked but infected with a self-replicating Trojan. 

     

    Installing untrusted software, opening email attachments or visiting high risk websites can lead to various forms of infection.

     

    Get latest anti-virus, anti-adware & anti-spyware software.  Do a complete and thorough scan of your system which could take several hours. 

     

    Or take your computer to an experienced technician who can run proper diagnostics and if necessary re-format your hard drive.

     

    Good luck!

    Run a malware scan.
