Please review below article and advise if you can do anything about it.

I thought this was also interesting, as far as Windows 10 and Cortana.

Also, from Rampant's article link, for some users they knew right where to go as far as popularity and use, Avast, CCleaner, Opera and 7-Zip.
CCleaner and 7-Zip would have caught me.
Hundreds of targeted users from Turkey and Syria were redirected “to nation-state spyware when those users attempted to download certain legitimate Windows applications.” Some users in Syria were also affected because some systems route into the Turkish operator. Those who tried to download Avast Antivirus, CCleaner, Opera and 7-Zip from their official websites were also affected.
