    I have virus software on my Toshiba laptop with windows 10. Anyway I had to reinstall windows 10, I also had to reinstall the virus software. I was unable to reinstall the software, so I called Best and gave permission for an agent to help me. She reinstalled the software for me, but she never signed off of remote access. Now I am worried that she may still be able to look at all my files
