Windows 10. I had TeamViewer open as I was about to update my program on their server and that's how their it manager got me admin access.

I was working in my IDE while I waited till cutover time. I copied code text but when I pasted it pasted instead <naseem@carolina.co.nz>.

That freaked me. So I closed TeamViewer which prompted me to abort file transfer. What file transfer?

My pc is off. Any ideas from IT experts? yes I know I need to plan migration from Microsoft products

I want the OS to have a permission where the app can do things when I have it closed. For 99% of the apps I use, I'd turn that off. I don't need them doing any shit in the background.

While it could open you up to some nefarious activity, it may not that in and of itself. You said you had copied code; any chance the code contained a redirect or a call that opened up a reverse shell? Did you scrub the code first? Does your IDE run sandboxed? Is it possible to run your IDE In a VM removed from your host OS - if your network connection is active and bridged in a VM, you could still be open to catch some shit.
