I had my computer on standby all night. I woke up this morning and decided to turn it off. When i pressed enter my computer turned back to its normal mode and asked for my password to log in. at this screen I pressed the turn off button... when i did this a prompt came up that said something to the effect 'other users are logged into this computer, are you sure you want to turn it off'

1. Im running wireless on a desktop
2. My wireless is 'supposed' to be password protected.
3. My roommate has a laptop connected to the same network, but i checked his comp and he wasnt logged into my computer.

Is it possible someone was snooping around my computer.. if so, they would have to crack my computer and wireless password??? or is this just a normal occurence?

Judging by the title:



google search :



Malwarebytes Anti-Malware



download it



install it



update it



Run a FULL System scan



remove the BAD threats



done!







Basically you have something called a 'SPYWARE' it's very VERY bad it basically spys on your computer and makes you NOT control it and makes files be readable to other people, causing them to steal IMPORTANT suff like credit cards, and they can see everything your doing





the sooner you do those steps the better!

thats happened to me on xp before, not sure why exactly, if you have a 2nd user it may have been logged into by accident by you or your friend, if not then its an error.
