Hi Geek-9pm,
Thank you for your answer. I live in Southeast Asia. I have a desktop with Windows 10 connected to a wifi router provided by my ISP. We also have two android phones that connect to the home network through wifi.
I have Avast Antivirus and ZoneAlarm installed and running and recently installed Malwarebytes (free version)
I work from home and use a licensed remote desktop tool to access my client's remote computer to do my tasks. I also have a time tracking software to log the hours I work.
It's a long story, but my neighbors are monitoring my computer activity. I don't know exactly how they do it but they can see when I begin working, when I am about to finish certain tasks and possibly take a break and move away from my computer. I know this because they do certain things to alert those nearby. They also react when I do an antivirus and malware scan or otherwise try to find out how to prevent them from accessing my computer.
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your answer. Based on your reply and what I read online, I am thinking about buying a ethernet over power adapter and buying a tablet with an ethernet adapter for the other person using the internet at home. I want to get away from wifi both for security and health reasons (though the effects to health are still debatable).
I use a paid application to access my client's remote computer to do my tasks. And time tracking software to log my work hours. Unfortunately I am not sure the data passing through these applications are encrypted. Avast has a VPN built in, but apparently it does not stop my neighbors from accessing my computer activity.
I cannot be sure but it is possible they paid off one of the employees of my ISP. But if the data is encrypted from my computer, would they just see the data flow, or would they be able to "read" the data?

Thank you both for your help. I just really want my privacy back
