Also im sure people here accidentally clicked on wrong links all the time.  Again im usually very careful with this which is why i haven't had issues.  I only have windows defender and malwarebytes free.  


The issue is if i want to backup the things in my laptop, i dont want to back any infected files to it.  So what is the suggestion now?  I do not want to wipe all my files because there are some files that i did not transfer to either my usb flash drive or the cloud.



The other thing is this.  I do not see anything suspicious about my email addresses.  So would that mean most likely im not compromised?  Again when this happened, I clicked on something and it went to a website that is not a legit site because the name of the site is not suppose to end the way its suppose to.  Also windows defender scanned a lot of threats on it which I rarely ever have etc.  It did seem to remove it but im note sure if its fully removed or not.  But I clicked on the link, my password manager was opened at the time which was my concern.  But I then closed it.  Since the, I have not tried to log in to my password manager on my laptop but has turned on the laptop few times etc.



Someone here suggested kaspersky and just scan it and that is the best option.  Again im overwhelmed by all of this.  So you suggest changing my email passwords on my new computer and phone for any active email im currently using?  



But wouldn't this situation happen to many people who have accounts though like with exchanges?  Thus someone has access to their username/password and then log in?  But if they have google authenticator, they are safe right?  But what if someone put their google authenticator private key or thing like that on program manager.  They are essentially screwed then?  The same with if someone click on wrong link on their iphone?  What about that?
