I Got a problem

[Backslash]

On Saturday I tried printing a file and it printed however 5 minutes later it said to print, you need to install the printer's drivers, and I'm like what? I thought nothing of it; now today I come home turn on my pc, and it wont connect to the internet saying it cannot find the drivers for my ethernet device.

I did a system restore, to be able to type this, but I still got a few errors everywhere in my programs. I am wondering if someone has control of my pc through a RAT or something?

What should I do.

Alright, Well I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate... So i guess my problems are gone...

God I was so paranoid.

I usually have no problems with malware, this one was mind boggling... IDK if it even was malware, I just took the precaution.

If you keep your system upto date, and don't download from sites/people your unsure of and if you sandbox things, you should be pretty safe.
