Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

It is impossible to answer this question. Do you have any symptoms?

 

Monetizing hackers will obfuscate this act so you don't know you have been hacked.

 

Google offline malware scanners. Download and create a separate boot disk for a couple of different scanners. Run scans to check the system.

 

Try Malwarebytes free (Link).

 

Try the Bleeping Computer forum (Link) dedicated to helping folks remove malware.

 

Regards
