I believe that someone is remote accessing my computer and my files to check up on me - Is this possible?

Question

It is somone I know. But how can they access my personal files without me knowing? And how can I stop it please?

Answer 1

Activate your firewall or download a free alternative.

Download an Ant-virus and Anti-spyware and scan your computer, in my blog you can find plenty of free alternatives.

Answer 2

Yes that is possible. Check your process to see if anything is running that shouldn't be.

Answer 3

I would imagine they would have had to access your actual computer at some point.

I'm afraid I don't know how to stop it, but to disable the program on the person's machine, or perhaps disallow its access.

Answer 4

its called hacking and yes they can do it but there is a program you can get called anti spy and it will help keep people out of your files and such

Answer 5

Right click on My Computer

Click properties

Click on Remote

Uncheck any boxes that might be checked on the page and click apply and ok.

Answer 6

yes it is very possible. either by sitting at your computer and installing software you dont know about, or breaking into your computer remotely and installing things. there are things out there called keyloggers that will show him what your typing at all times, or even things that will show him whats on your screen at whatever time they choose. best advice is to do virus scans and look for suspicious software that you didnt install yourself, or for files that you normally use being deleted or in different places.
