Unwanted Intrusion: When Your Laptop Acts on Its Own

Have you ever experienced something that made you question your sanity? Recently, I encountered a bizarre situation that left me feeling uneasy about my laptop’s security.

Approximately twenty minutes ago, as I was preparing to settle in for the night, I noticed something peculiar. To my shock, the cursor on my screen began to move on its own, as if orchestrated by an unseen hand. It swiftly navigated through my interface, opening a browser and creating tabs in both Opera GX and Microsoft Edge. Naturally, this unexpected event sent me into a panic.

In an attempt to rationalize this occurrence, I quickly checked my device settings. I wanted to rule out the possibility that my Bluetooth was active and connected to my wireless mouse. To my relief, it was completely switched off, raising more questions than answers.

The thought of someone remotely accessing my computer is unsettling to say the least. As I contemplate my next steps, it’s clear that I need to address this issue promptly. Should I reconnect my laptop to the internet to install a comprehensive security program like Malwarebytes? Or are there alternative measures I can take to safeguard my device from future intrusions?
