I’m still getting hacked despite reinstalling Windows – what’s wrong?

Three weeks ago, my computer got infected with a trojan, so I decided to do a complete system reinstall. Thinking I was in the clear, I realized I had kept all my old files, which likely reinfected my system. After noticing strange activity—specifically, games I've never played showing up in my 'continue playing' section on Roblox—I first suspected my phone. I did a factory reset on it, and it's now 100% clean. I then reinstalled Windows again, thinking that would solve the issue. However, today I logged into my Roblox account and saw the same strange games listed, even though I haven't logged in on my PC. I've reset my password and have 2FA enabled. It seems like bot behavior, but I've checked, and I'm only logged in on my phone. What could be going on?

A possibility is that someone accessed your account from your old session. If you didn’t log out everywhere or check which devices are connected to your account, they might have had access. Check Roblox's authorized devices and log out from any you don’t recognize. And yeah, if you have kids, make sure they haven’t accidentally shared your account info!

It sounds like your Roblox account might have been hacked rather than your computer. Even with a strong password and 2FA, there are methods that could potentially bypass these protections. Double-check any emails from Roblox for unfamiliar login notifications, just in case. Also, make sure you're using a secure device to access your account.
