I had an issue a week ago where my computer started scrolling through telling me it was infected with a trojan virus. I kept trying to click off the screen and finally I was able to get off. Unfortunately now I have a charge out of my checking account which I never authorized or even gave anyone my credit card number. Does anyone know how they can do this and has it happened to you?

Hello Dany,

Many rogue Trojan Horse of that nature also install a keylogger, so if you happened to go look at your bank account, the information was sent to the hackers.

Are you sure that you got rid of the entire virus: trojan and keylogger?

I hope I answered your question to your satisfaction.

Regards
