I was watching Kodi last night on my laptop using a paid subscription service. While I was watching an error message came up saying something along the lines of "you're attempting to watch on more than one device" which isn't allowed on this subscription and the programme went down.
A website came up and I noticed the cursor was moving of its own accord, it definitely wasn't drifting it was quite purposefully moving as if someone else was moving it. Also a downloader bar in the tray showed something installing. I took control of the cursor and closed everything and switched the machine off but am obviously worried A.) someone was able to access my computer in the first place B.) what has been downloaded (if it managed before I got there) and C.) what else might have been compromised.
I'm not particularly computer savvy and would appreciate some advice. What measures can I take to stop this happening again and how can I check to see if any rogue software has made it on to my laptop?
With thanks.
