My computer is hacked again

[Rosie]

he removed my battery icon so i don't know if my battery is charged or not.. how can I get rid of him   please help

Sorry for your problems Rosie. This sounds more like a virus than a hack. I can't imagine why a hacker would bother to hack an elderly woman's computer. There can't be anything of any importance on it to interest a hacker. If it were actually a hacker he would be stealing things like passwords and bank account or credit card numbers. For a genuine hacker to mess with inconsequential things like removing a battery icon makes no sense.

Of course I reserve the right to be wrong, but this sounds more like either a virus or a computer glitch. If you reboot the computer does the icon appear, or is it still gone?

who ever it is moves things around. increases the size of fonts and pages and decreases them.. they move my desk top things around.. the icons come and go... I don't have my banking on my computer nor buy anything on line for this reason... i will run my anti virus protection today.. nothing ever shows up...thanks for your help
