Post by: atmguy1 on April 20, 2011, 06:19:48 PM

How do you turn off the abality to remote access a computer.

Long story short, my computer has been accessed remotely, How do I prevent it from happening?

Any help please

Turn off file and print sharing via Control Panel...

I checked C:\ and printer  nothing is checked to allow shareing.
I have had a family member tell me where I have been and what my passwords are.
This is what I am trying to stop.
I have windows 7 if that makes a difference.

You could also untick remember passwords or auto and use Ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner)
to clean history,cookies and temp files. You could also right-click My Computer icon/Properties and choose Remote tab and change your settings from there. Make sure to click Apply.

thank you Jason,

I gather there is no way to confirm other than wait till something else comes up then?

Thank you for your advice.
