Since my laptop is currently undergoing the Erase process, I can't check, but he ran something in Terminal. I backed up a few personal files to Google Drive, but I was wondering if there was any way those files might be compromised or corrupted? I don't want to download them and have them put something into my computer. I changed all financial-related passwords (Paypal, bank account, Amazon account, iTunes, etc.) and decided to just go whole-hog and do a 7-pass Erase on my whole system (I will also be calling my bank in the morning for a new debit card and to set up fraud alert, since my info has been accessed before, and I'll probably call to have a new credit card issued as well). Both of us let our computers get accessed for probably a half hour or so (his is a Windows, and mine is a Mac running Mavericks), and I just want to make sure I'm taking all steps necessary to get rid of anything that might have put on my computer. Today my Dad and I fell for the infamous "Teamviewer scam." We were trying to fix our NETGEAR wireless extender, and instead of, Dad tripped across.
