  • Ok, you sound very nervous by how your typing. Go take a few deep breaths and take a quick walk around the block or something so relax so you have a clear head to process this.

    Once your done (I am going to assume you have android) download rethink DNS and look through the logs to see if there are any apps making suspicious requests and Google them to see what they are.

    From there you can tell what’s compromised and maybe how you got compromised so we can help















  • I don’t see enough people mentioning this, but preventative maintenance can save you a lot of money.

    Another thing I would recommend is to be familiar with the systems in your house, what fuel does your furnace use? What type of water heater do you have? how old are the fuses in the fuse box? Does your electrical panel have a surge protector? Do you have a water pump should your basement begin to flood? Do you have a generator panel? Knowing how these work can save you money on trouble shooting.

    For example, if you live in an area with lots of squirrels, it might be worth putting up chicken wire on any entrance to the attic from the outdoors. Ex: air vents. If I would have done this, I would have saved $900 from chewed wires that could have started a fire.
