Nothing to do with Nord.

Why did you allow various remote sessions on your pc? Who did you give remote access to? What did they do? Did you remove whatever remote access software they got you to install after they were done? If you didn't did you change the passwords that allowed the access?

I recently scanned for viruses and found 19 trojans on my system (never once went on porn) and 56 password protected files.

What virus scanner did you use? What 'trojans' did it find? How are the files password protected? How do you know they are? What happens when you try to access them?

I went on the location of those protected files and found old photos of myself , credit card photos etc.

So they're not password protected? Or are some password protected and some not? Where do you suspect these old photos, credit card photos etc came from? Have they been copied from one folder to another or do you store them on another device?

Anyone know what i should do in this instance? I felt quite vunerable when i saw all that old data on a new machine.?

It's kind of hard to make any suggestions as last time people tried to help you with your supposed BT hack you pretty much ignored anyone's attempt to get you to provide more information and as such made it almost impossible to make suggestions.

In the spirit of good faith though: Never give someone remote access to your PC unless it's something like your work IT dept or someone you trust with your life.

If on the other hand you're talking about how to go about cleaning the system others have told you what to do and i sort of agree with them as if you've actually got 19 trojans and 56 password protected files walking someone through how to clean those would be an exercise in futility so doing a clean install will be easier/quicker. Not sure why you're worried about getting infected during the install of Windows or before updating it as Windows defender and firewall is enabled by default, plus i assume your router is using NAT and/or has some sort of very basic firewall feature so someone would have to be incredibly dedicated, prepared, and knowledgable to 'hack' your system in the 10-20min it takes to install Windows.

e: FYI, as i said in your BT hacking thread i suspect what you're experiencing is a PEBCAK.

tbh its all good, if someone is having issues like that they need to rebuild, its good to have the conversation. (may help someone)
 
This guy has to be an ALT of that Sewerino26 guy. Same Style of posting. Has the same way of asking for help, ignoring everything that's said and coming back with even more nonsensical questions. No proper explanation in the first place and never clarifies anything.

Look at his other threads, the Bluetooth one and the Router one. It's not his computer that needs help.

(if anyone doesn't know Sewerino26, suggest you look up some threads started by him)
