I believe someone I know is hacking into my pc. How can I find out? could a local computer company be able to check my pc for me? any advice would be gratefully received
Are you running an Anti virus and firewall ? how do you connect to the web ? DSL or dialup?
One way to stop all intruders is with a router…
yes I have antivirus and firewall on. i dial up. just seems like my ex seems to know what Im doing on my pc?
its dials up, but I have a modem and am on broadband
What make you think you are being hacked ?Is your Ex an Computer tech? The only way is by using a keylogger… But He would have to know what he is doing.. Another way would be Wireless hack.. But since you are on dial up.. i don’t think you can be hacked..
ok, hopefully its ok, then. he told me had a ‘mate’ who did that kind of thing. i ran spybot and nothing came up, so hopefully ok. thanks for the helpl:)
If you get a screenshot of the process list, then I can look through and see if there is anything suspicious. To get the process list, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and click the processes tab at the top.
You can find out what each process does by typing it’s name into Google.
wait, do you have dial-up or broadband? Also, do you connect to the modem wirelessly? Any wireless connections in your house at all?
And also spybot wouldn’t really protect against hacking, or not necessarily, it’s mostly for adware.
