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.
Heres what to do for future reference:
Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Link:

Download AVG/Avast or a FREE (if you don't want to pay for software)
Post a hijack this log and someone here will analyze it. Hope this helps

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.
