I Think i lost about 5000 to this playing 2/4 on POkerBros and he was able to see my hole cards using Teamviewer.
I always make sure to delete Teamviewer because I know hackers use it if they get into my computer.
Once i saw this i reloaded windows with a fresh version.. shoud be ok now unless somehow put virus files into my registery of my computer.
I was getting McAffee, after this refresh of windows, getting noficatoins that a "suspicious network" and ip address kept trying to link up to my computer though... and McAffee was blocking his connection and ip.
So i'm losing like every session.... for a while.
I punch in teamviewer in bottom left .. .and it pops up BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING SECRETLY IN BACKGROUND. I had not put this on my computer and there was no icon on desktop for it.
Be careful.. I had windows defender on my computer.
I read this was good enough and did not need other anti virus programs but i guess i was wrong.
Well this one file he sent me with poker courses said too big for Google to scan and I hit Run Anyways..
Anyways I think " a friend" of mine sent me some poker courses and put spyware in it. Not sure though.
I have a message / file on skype that "this friend" sent me that i am trying to figure out how to put into Virus Total.
Its a google drive file but i dont know how to take the file from the skype message and drag into VirusTotal to scan it.
As the guy from Geekstogo dot com said if its a file to download teamviewer it might not show up as a virus even if i do scan it. Btw the guys at GeekstoGo will help u give your computer a look over for any problems, viruses or spyware.. they help for free but prob appreciate a donation sent i'm sure.
Anyways be careful... of course..
So yeh now i'm grinding nl 100 rather than nl 400 or higher like i was ... sucks

Yeah, be careful about what you install on your computer. If this "friend" of yours is in your region, you might want to consider reporting this to local law enforcement officials.
So, a hacker had admin access to your computer and decided to use it to install Team viewer?
Your friend is an inept hacker. There are plenty of programs out there that give you a screen grab without showing a tray tool icon.... that or this belongs in the "online poker is rigged" forum.
