TeamViewer randomly downloaded to my PC, have I been hacked?

Was browsing YouTube for a bit, went down to get dinner and when I came back up I found team viewer in my downloads, it was only the installer so I deleted it but still changed my passwords just in case. In my history I checked that it was downloaded about half an hour after I left my computer, and about 20 minutes before I came back so I certainly didn't accidentally click something and assumed malicious intent. Only thing I don't get is if hackers had access to my PC, why did they download teamviewer if they already seemed to have control of the PC, also how do I stop this from happening and is there any way that my PC could have been comprised that allowed his to happen, I haven't downloaded anything recently so is there a logical explanation to how this occurred and how I could prevent it?

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
