- runin2k1 11y agoBeing the "IT" person amongst my friends and families, I routinely get asked how to fix a computer that has been hacked. In every single case the problem isn't that the computer got hacked, it was them clicking an ad that stated they had a virus, or they downloaded something random because they couldn't see through the noise. See my CNet link below in another response. Savvy users can tune these things out, and/or know sites to avoid, but for the lay-person it is hazardous.
