I was taking the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) online. The test was proctored by ProctorU. Everything was fine, even though I felt a little uneasy giving full access to my computer. During the 4th section, Webroot detected malware on my computer and shut the test down. I stayed on chat with technicians for a while and they were able to get the test to come up again. They asked me if I could use another computer, but my other computer wasnโt working at the time. I got to the part where there is a break during the test. After the break, my computer froze up on the break screen. I chatted with technicians again. After several hours, they told me that I would have to reschedule the test. Webroot is an antivirus that I got when I bought my computer from Best Buy last year. I have a Surface Pro 6. Webroot removed 11 threats from my computer. When I reviewed the quarantined files, they were file and key trackers. I assume that those were used to make sure that I wasnโt cheating on the test. Well, a couple of weeks later all of my accounts have been getting hacked. Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify. I donโt know if it has anything to do with what happened on the test or not. I am scheduled to retake the test at home on Monday. I feel very uneasy about it. I need the test to get into graduate school. I am unable to take the test at a testing center since most are still closed due to COVID-19. Iโm not sure what to do and Iโm looking for some input. Thank you.
