Just five minutes ago, I came back to my laptop. Windows 8.1, Toshiba Satellite. Only to find a random pornographic video up and playing. I quickly closed it. A moment after, random files from my folders were being opened, without me even clicking. After I freaked out, I quickly shut off the laptop entirely and hopped on to another one to look up the issue. Is someone in control of the other laptop, is this a virus? What steps can I take to fix this issue safely? Any assistance would be so helpful. Thank you.
