Downvoters: This seems to me like good advice. There are many ways to login without a password, not much hacking required; the workshop might have done it as a brief test.

My answer is positing one particular and reasonably likely option without attempting to prejudice the people who did the repairing. If other options are likely I would hope that other answers would detail how to find out or provide some kind of indication of what to do. You do provide some useful advice. I did not downvote your answer.

@Mokubai: Thanks, and I certainly didn't think that you did so. I don't think that it helps to list all the possibilities for what could have happened and how the poster's computer could have been infected in the workshop, even unknown to the employees, if some other infected computer was present and connected to the same network. Unfortunate that my advice would probably be ignored now, but fortunate that the real chances for infection are probably very low.
