To do this you have to be standing on your head.
If you are a cheater you can flip your monitor upside down.
Open Microsoft Word.
Now type the letters
Comp_mod_RemCon_()Check
save the file into My documents as Remote Connection Check
Now Close Microsoft Word.
Reopen Word, but not the file.
If the Page where you type is green, you are OK
But if is white, you are being watched by A remote Connection.
To stop the connection Open the file you made earleir and type the following Code:
HK_231_9697_RemCon_Delete_Com_Con
_RemoteConnection_
and you will be fine
This works because the megapixels of Microsoft Word Combine with the Remote Connection and jam the system of the connection, pottentially frying the remotes database, while no harm is done to your computer.

if you say backdoor intruder, sometimes you might not be able to stop him. Some very good backdoor intruder can create an access route into your computer without you noticing it, even the best anti spyware cant stop them. So, why bother. Just reformat it. Unless you yourself are a good hacker

Im assuming that you are running Windows XP...
You can make sure that remote access is disabled by checking:
: Control Panel : System : Remote
Make sure that both remote access check boxes are disabled.
Then you will want to make sure that Windows Firewall is activated (on SP1 and SP2). To do this:
: Control Panel : Windows Firewall
Make sure that this is "on"
You then should do a spyware scan. I recommend Lavasoft Adaware SE Personal edition which you can download for free at: http://www.lavasoft.com.
Then you should make sure you have a good virus program. A good free one is Grisoft AVG at http://free.grisoft.com
If you have a dsl router with firewall make sure that it is activated too.
Good luck.

I have norton internet security with a firewall and it always alerts me to any attempt being made to remotely access my computer.
I can also look back at a report of the attempts. It will say something like " a remote connection with the address of _______ is attempting to access your computer" and give the time and date.

1. get and install a good software firewall
2. disable all remote connectivity services
3. eliminate all non essential user ID accounts.

One way this is done is through spyware. Run Spybot (free).
Also, Get a good firewall product that will tell you when attempted intrusions and probes take place.

Only way to be totally sure is to unplug it from the network.
You can run netstat from the command prompt to show most connections.
