Not sure if this thread is a joke or not but it’s highly unlikely your ‘internet access is hacked.’ Most likely you’ve got some malware or other poo poo on your computer.

Hi thanks for your reply. The thread is 100% not a joke, my concerns are real and I was honestly asking. I was thinking about switching my anti-virus so I maybe that will help. Thanks. If you have any other ideas about why a person's internet could be hacked, let me know.

If you're running a modern OS, it's pretty easy to not get viruses. If you're using Windows, turn on Windows Defender. I'd bet anything you've got something like a plugin or a browser extension doing some weird poo poo.

If you're really set on the idea your 'internet access is hacked' I would power cycle your modem, reset your router back to factory, and call your ISP.

edit: This is also the wrong subforum for this.
