My computers been taken over recently by some

heavy duty virus it got into my antivirus paid subscription turned it off and its security functions.

I noticed it happening while was online gaming.

Rang antivirus company they couldn't pick up on with remote scan detection.

Managed to regain control of my social media accounts was not easy

multiple messages to them sort of sorted.

I believe it was from gaming software as they do updates on there software sometime more than twice a week.

Hope you all don't have this happen to you.

Dunno what anti-virus your using however:

Kaspersky Internet Security helps to minimize the risk involved in using unknown applications (such as the risk of infection with viruses and unwanted changes to operating system settings).

Kaspersky Internet Security includes components and tools that allow checking an application's reputation and controlling its activities exerted on your computer.

Application Control prevents applications from performing actions that may be dangerous for the system and ensures control of access to operating system resources and your identity data.

The component tracks actions performed in the system by applications installed on the computer and regulates them based on the Application Control rules. These rules regulate potentially dangerous activity, including applications' access to protected resources, such as files and folders, registry keys, and network addresses.

When an application is first run on the computer, Application Control checks it for safety and moves to one of the groups (Trusted, Untrusted, High Restricted, or Low Restricted). The group defines the rules that Kaspersky Internet Security should apply for controlling the activity of this application.

Some inters links from members willingly unwillingly could have

viruses.

I am careful downloading applications on android or Ios to

check ratings reviews for all carefully before considering.

You shouldn't have any further problem, just make sure your gaming software is marked as "High Restricted" so gaming updates can't change operating system configuration

If you are not sure whether your computer is clean, download and installed the paid version of Malwarebytes, run its scan and configure to run on start-up, that way the two programs can protect each others systems...
