    Any Desk is a program that allows someone to access your computer remotely. It has to be intentionally installed. Someone may have tricked you into installing this program. Did they tell you that your computer was infected or something like that?
    Tell us how this program got onto your computer.

    Also, the removal process will differ based on how you installed the software initially. Based on what I read.

    I found this in another of 3 posts on the same problem.
    First mistake: not hanging up on the caller. That is how senior citizens get scammed.
    Second mistake: letting anyone that you did not call, take control of your computer!!!
