Talked to my wife.  She tried to install a voice changer software yesterday from a link on twitter and it didn't install.  This is a windows 11 PC.  I see something new called WingFtpServer as a startup program. That has to be it. C'est la vie  Embarrassed 
That might be the suspect.
That's also the main reason why I don't want other people to use my computer. Even my partner doesn't have any access to my computer. She has her own laptop so I guess there's no reason for her to touch my computer, or at least if she will use it, I'm on her side so I can still see what she is doing.

I'm always very careful with everything that I'm downloading online. From extensions to wallet software of different altcoins. I always triple-check before I click the download button because there's always a chance that it might contain malware especially if it comes from a different website.

Learning really is a very expensive thing, and I've been always saying that ever since. Now your learning costs you 11 BTC. I mean if only you have a hardware wallet then at least your coins are safer, but nevertheless, it is what it is. You said already "That's life" so I guess the only thing that I will say is to move on, move forward, and start from scratch again. I know it will be hard, but I know and we know you can do it. Smiley
