Remote use of a computer

[bricro]

Can I find out if someone has been using my computer from a remote place.?

How do you mean? At work our IT guys can take over our computers to resolve issues - do you mean accessing your files, or actually sending emails from it, etc?

^^ Plus, what makes you think that this is happening?

Mark on FB, it would be a cold cold day in hell ha ha. Bricro, I'm not sure about on PC's but my mac using it's built in firewall settings logs all traffic, whatever network i am connected to. It's called stealth mode, I'm sure PC's will have something similar.

Is it your own personal PC?, if so they would have had to set up a remote login, and know passwords for your PC etc

It is pretty difficult to just hack someones PC

I kept getting a message " you have been disconnected from chat because you are logged in from another computer or device"
Sorry to be so computer illiterate. I have now changed my password and so far it seems to have done the trick.
