BLUETooth was the problem

Question

I tried to make tihs comment to the other comment i made but I can't thank JC enough for telling me about the bluetooth device becuase that interference/hacking whatever was exactly due to someone's deliberate bluetooth device.

I got myself a wired keyboard and there is NO problem now whatsoever.

I say the bluetooth jacking was deliberate because it would start when I was writing an email and generally the topic would be ways to protect my pc. Then it got worse and would start lighting icons up on my pc. I have a wireless keyboard and no problems.

I want to thank JC so much but the post would not let me add a comment even though it said "comments"

It is a shame people do that but they do and this time old fashioned tech was a huge help.

thanks i would never have looked into that online were it not for that suggestion.

Answer 1

It sounds like you experienced some issues related to Bluetooth interference, which can happen if unauthorized devices are attempting to connect or interact with your system. Bluetooth technology can be vulnerable to various security threats, including unauthorized access and interference.

Using a wired keyboard is a good solution to avoid any potential Bluetooth-related issues, as it eliminates the risk of interference from Bluetooth devices. Additionally, keeping your Bluetooth devices updated and managing their settings can enhance security and reduce the chances of such problems occurring in the future.

If you suspect that your Bluetooth connection is being compromised, consider disabling Bluetooth when not in use or adjusting your device settings to limit discoverability and enforce stronger security protocols.
