Hi 
last night before bed I looked at my calendar for today & discovered multiple entries for that (that I couldn’t delete), that looked to be in a foreign language - maybe Greek.
this morning they have changed to English, but random things, saying I’ve been hacked, another someone is watching me, another download Macfee antivirus software, etc.  

All of this is in my calendar.
what do I do? 

Edited to add, they’ve changed language again, might be Russian not Greek.

    Years ago I had a spate of computers brought to me to fix, they were often infected.  They usually had 2 things in common... 
    Limewire and McAfee.
