Suddenly today a message appeared at the top of my settings page saying: "your browser is being managed by your organization". I am on a personal computer in my home, the only computer I have. I don't have an organization. Have I been hacked or why is this suddenly on my settings? I am not very tech literate, an older person so can't do very complex things. I don't want anyone but me managing my settings. I am the only one using my computer. I am on Windows 7 Home premium.

That's what I thought I was doing here. Can someone please answer my original posted question? I am very concerned that I have been hacked.
