Quick Assist Remote access inquiry

Last weekend I made a report on how I suspected a trojan spyware virus and how someone access my pc.

I got in contact with an expert who deleted the software and installed a new windows. 

Today I opened my pc with a notification which I guess from Quick access trying to gain access to my pc but wasn't completed because I disconnected my internet prior. The notification reopens after I close it and I'm worried if the hackers are still trying access my pc through the quick assist portal. 

Your immediate response is required, thank you.

Hi

I hope the entire storage device was wiped, and not just a clean install happened.

Also that no user data or backups were re-installed, because they maybe "infected".

If you have a firewall, then maybe research HOW2 block certain ports.......

Remote Desktop 3389 (TCP) Direct RDP, often requires port forwarding

EG:  Methods to Block Port 3389:

Using Windows Firewall

  • Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security.

  • Create a new inbound rule:

    • Select "Port" as the rule type.

    • Choose "TCP" and specify port 3389.

    • Select "Block the connection."

    • Apply the rule to all profiles (Domain, Private, Public).

    • Name and finish the rule

This rule will deny all inbound connections to port 3389, effectively blocking RDP access.

If in doubt please ask.
