An asswhole repeatedly manage to install the key logger and computer monitoring on my laptop. it is been a yea?

Question

An asswhole repeatedly manage to install the key logger and computer monitoring on my laptop. it is been a year and no matter what I do I cannot get rid of it. She has hundred percent cooperation of my internet company Cox, and also manages to listen to my cell calls. Therefore when I ordered the new recovery cd, she managed ( just a vague guess) to open it and install the .ex file (I have no idea, just guess, since most of the computer monitoring files are .exe) on my Toshiba laptop. I am not sure where the program is coming back reinstalled on my laptop. This program can turn my camera and microphone on without me knowing it. I am not sure what options do I have. These spy programs are not detectable by any antispyware, malware per their companies’ information. Is there anybody else out there who has the same problem? Please give me some advices. I had been reinstalling the windows vista home premium for numerous times, but it seems it does not help. I figure since she had physical access to my recovery disc, she installed the spy program on it. When I ordered a new cd, from Toshiba, and installed it, the problem is still there. I had not clicked on any line(blue line) to install stuff. All I have done was opening emails that had no weird code in them but there where regular word document.
I am sure this is not metaphysics or something that a computer programmer can’t solve. I am sure when they make those kind of spyware, there are someone else with better intelligence to make something that can counter attack that.
Can someone really help me? I need to get rid of this bug.
Does my internet provider have access and can hack into my pc? Is there any way for them to do it?
I really appreciate your answers.
Thanks
George

Answer 1

If you indeed have spyware on your machine (and you don't really give any evidence to prove that), it could be coming in through the Web, even without opening any Web pages.



It would NOT be on your recovery disk. Those are pulled off a stack of disks and slipped into a mailing envelope, not custom-created when you ask for one. She did NOT hack in and meddle with yours.



Getting back to the Web: Do you have a firewall (other than Windows Firewall) running constantly on your machine? Given your statements, not having one protecting you would be the likeliest way you could be getting spyware.



Note that just putting one in would not exorcise any spyware you already have, just protect you from more. You'd still have to get rid of it.



Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You're ranting.



What evidence do you have that "she" (whoever "she" is) has hacked into your system and is listening to your phone calls?



People cannot just "open" CDs and install spyware on them, at least not without a lot of work and a way to physically use the system.



I'm sorry, but you're tossing a lot of pretty wild accusations around. If someone is spying on your, they're committing a crime. If someone is doing something to you, you need to contact the authorities. Spying on people on their computers or listening in to people's phone calls are pretty serious crimes, and if you have evidence of this, you need to contact the cops. And keep contacting them until they investigate.



You're internet provider doesn't care what you have on your computer. The only way they can "hack into your PC" is if your system has unpatched security vulnerabilities. While this is possible, your ISP also has literally thousands of systems on their network. Unless you are doing something illegal or sucking up all the bandwidth on your network segment, they probably don't give a crap what you do.



Besides, I'll repeat it: if they are doing this without probable cause and a warrant, they're breaking the law. Not likely they're going to do that for you.

Answer 3

Cox internet is not going to attack your machine, or allow anyone else to. Assuming the recovery disk from Toshiba is a genuine disk, how is anyone going to modify it. They normally provide non re-writable disks, so it can not be modified. I don't know what makes you think someone is monitoring you, I doubt it. You show no evidence. Nothing is undetectable. Unless you have broken some serious laws, nobody is allowed to listen to your cell phone. Nobody can turn on your microphone and camera. And there is no relationship between your cell phone and computer. I suspect you are seriously paranoid.

Answer 4

hi George - despite some who may tell you that it's very unlikely - the answer to your basic question is Yes, it is *entirely* possible for someone with enough hacking knowledge and motivation, to do exactly what you're stating is being done.



as far as your internet provider potentially doing so, or any other company, for that matter, they most certainly *easily* COULD, but unless you're currently developing the next major computer program that will sell billions, are a top secret international spy, or are on the verge of discovering the cure for cancer, the chances of that happening are slim to ZERO...closer to minus zero, in fact...



therefore, the much more likely suspect would be someone who knows you personally....and has a reason to do so - those seeking revenge, a stalker, a co-worker, a bully (including relatives - especially siblings and ex's)...



yet, even if you had your computer tested and cleaned by Bill Gates himself, and even if you had the most up-to-date anti-hacking software installed, and had your wi fi connection and your computer password protected, if someone ever has access to your computer *itself* in the future - say, a sibling, "friend", or someone at school or work - they could potentially start the entire mess all over again...



therefore, to sum it up:



immediately check to make sure your wi fi connection is password protected - do not keep your password on your computer or anywhere else - make it something that you and only you can easily remember....



then, immediately change all of your passwords on all of your accounts - email, banking, etc...



then, have your pc looked at ASAP by a pro you can trust - a PRO - someone who is NOT a friend of yours, or a friend of a friend or relative - a pro who is solely in the business of computer repair and has a STORE - pay them for their work ABOVE the table - via credit/debit card...that way, you're 99.9% safe from that person themselves being involved in hacking into your computer...it's just not worth it to them....



after that, make sure your computer itself is password protected - meaning, even off-line, it'll greatly lessen the chances of anyone being able to access any info on it, nor add any malicious/hacking programs/software....



EDIT: lastly, since you think you know who's doing it, keep your computer away from this idiot at ALL TIMES, and get your *own* separate, wi fi account/connection, and make sure it's password protected. and, if your computer pro is able to track down any info on them, take the info to the police and file a report against them - immediately.
