((( I know that if we use a complicated password for zip files that has more than 8 characters, it's quite safe and can't be cracked easily... For example, for an 8-digits complicated password (containing ABC,abc,123,!@#), it takes 83.5 days for a supercomputer to test all combinations, and 22 years for a 9-digit!!!!) ))) But in an example,...

About a week ago, something started messing with my mouse on my laptop. Right clicks, left clicks, opening up files, etc. It then got worse. It would open up a web page's source code and making changes within the coding. It messes with the volume while trying to watch a movie, and seems to be click happy. I've installed and run the...
