(At first I read that as "I run scams on a daily basis"!)

If I actually had a high jacker and malware wouldn't
I see other indications and my computer would start to

Not necessarily, or at least not before it had done some of its worst.
Well-written malware these days tries _not_ to be visible.

Incidentally, I think a high jacker is something a car repair facility
might have - the usual spelling is as one word, without the "gh " three
characters (-:
