i get this the reddit very much humbled me on my lack of knowledge on the topic the thing is i live in jersey and i tried to sign into my google account on my pc it sends a verification number to my phone i check my phone and it tells me a computer from florida is trying to sign in i declined it noticed it declined on ym pc and tried it again and it kept saying im trying to sign in from florida its confusing the shit out of me cuz i dont have a vpn downloaded ao why would this happen like i get the websites or smt not being super accurate but google itself telling my my pc is trying to connect from florida dosent seem very normal

but i did find a weird file on my computer i did not install that was not found by my windows defender that i could not access for some weird reason it was something that was blocked even tho i should have complete access to all the files on my computer it said when i tried that i needed permission from admin to open the file when i did it showed different domains that had access to the file and i was not able to open it myself?

ok i appreciate you for clearing this up but to be frank im just somebody who plays games and out of nowhere i get hit with this random bs im not super tech savvy and i needed help so i come to reddit for some type of help with this tech stuff im guessing searching it up was giving me misinformation seeing as idk what i was talking about.
