Can an executable be created to search a whole page or a "Find" (like CNTRL + F ) on a Page in Task Manager?

Is it possible to create an Executable (.exe) to run as a task to search through Task Managers Processes or Application Interface to find a value like a PID or name of a file.
Trying to reduce eye strain and realized someone or something has hijacked my laptop. I live literally next to a small private college where the number one program is Cyber Hacking. So I think some kids have gotten hold of information of mine. I recently had a rash of Hulu, Spotify & Netflix accounts opened. I had to close my bank accounts.

Anyway in my quest to find out the whats and the who's I have learned a little about investigation and need a hand a searching daily on Task Manager if it is possible. I did not see a CNTRL + F function to find items in Task Mgr. I did see "Run New Task" as and EXE.

So if I can do that. Is there a way to create a exe to help me search a long page for a PID or a name? If do how?

You should contact the college and let them know what happened.

Are you really wanting to use Visual Basic Classic which is the stand-alone program VB6, or do you mean VBA?

I would try anything just to save time.  The school is one of 7 in the country that is a Cyber Hacking & Security training school. The NSA, CIA and FBI all handpick from the talent pool here.
Would VBA be better? Should I edit my question?

Are you using a firewall?
Dear Mr Liss & John Tsioumpris
I have an ASUS RT-AC88U Router with McAfee Total Protection. The passwords are pretty darn good. My passwords are in a unique language.
I did notice in the Firewall Settings that it says that if I leave the Remote IP Access area blank it says that any inbound IP can access.

"All outbound traffic coming from IPv6 hosts on your LAN is allowed, as well as related inbound traffic. Any other inbound traffic must be specifically allowed here.
You can leave the remote IP empty to allow traffic from any remote host. A subnet can also be specified"

I will need to figure out how to add the VB code above to the Task Manager. I am not experienced at that but have done some development with applications that I could create new menus and feature choices in them. I do know a little. I will search on that and try to find something on the how to. Thank you both.
Thank you both for your help.
