Hello newtusmaximus,
A/ I use the default repositories.
B/ I removed the rules and have updated 2 times and the rules have not been re-added in these future updates.
C/ I don't think it is a virus or malware because -
a/ I have not executed any files other than updates from the Ubuntu repository, and LL repository, or those I created myself, eg Python files made as exercises in the book.
b/ I don't think it is from a website as on this computer I only visit, this forum, OMG Blog, my own blog, Google Blogger/G+, Raspberry Pi blog, and YouTube, OSMC forums a few weeks ago.
c/ only 1 of my email accounts is set up on this computer, example ProtonMail I use only on their site or via the Android app.
Only 2 sources of email arrive to this email address, notifications from this forum, and weekly update notifications from OSMC forum. Neither of these contained any attachments, both are read as plain text only.
I did not receive spam.
There are no personal photos on this computer, no webcam connected, no money stuff eg; I don't have any cards, online banks, or Paypal, they cannot get credit in my name for a few years yet as I am not old enough for that.
There is x1 mp3 music mix I made when first using linux, x2 desktop screenshots, x273 of my blog files that have all already been published online and are free, x13 Python files I made during the exercises in the Python book so far, x1 directory with 2 subdirectories I made as part of the exercises in the Command Line book so far, x54 pdfs from Raspberry Pi foundation that are available free online.
There is no networking of computers.
No idea why Samba is even installed, as none of the 3 reasons given on Ubuntu for what it is used for are ever used on this computer.
I have no idea if the system was penetrated, but it is likely it was, as the help manual was tampered with and is broken which doesn't occur on its own. Maybe other stuff, I am to be checking more later when I get back, I go out now etc.
