I've changed the password and installed a firewall, but still, more programs keep appearing on my computer that I haven't downloaded myself. How can I prevent this? I keep removing them, but they keep getting downloaded again.

Your computer may be poisoned, you can restart it first, if it still doesn't work, see if the script is running in the background again.

Could you show a screenshot or screenrecord about what app(s) are getting installed and how you removed them?

Turn off the network connection first, and then check if there is a suspicious process or a script that runs

😬

If you are sure that you are poisoned, it is best to reload, and there is nothing too good about it

No weird processes running in the background except for one thing: printer manager. Or is this part of Deepin?'

Yes, it's part of any Linux distro.

Again, what programs and how are uninstalling them?
