All my computers have been hacked.

All my computers have been hacked. By whom I know not, or why. I was confused at first because at the beginning I had no internet connection. I started learning network. But my knowledge is little and I'm floundering trying to get the registered on my PC. I thought I was doing a little progress when I discovered 'they' had installed a network device, called Service of Publication of Microsoft. I have not given permission to ANYONE to access my computers. I feel violated that someone can do that easily. Is there any place that I can tell you this? How do I control my PC again? I live in Bothell WA. My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

Round 1 HP running Vista Home edition

2 rounds of Dell / one in XP home, the other Windows 7 Ultimate

1 Netbook acer my daughter let me borrow so I would have a PC to play on

1 Dell Inspiron laptop, was on Vista,

I was so frustrated I took out the hard drive, its Where abouts unknown, haha. I had just taken it recently because I had messed up all my other PCs taking control over my other, making them unusable without having to reinstall. I'm waiting to do this, after all is fixed incase I am able to prosecute and use them as evidence. In one day the Inspiron has been compromised. I was able to get my HP and going, trying to do what I can, but then this MICROSOFT DEVICE has been installed, without my consent.  I understand why this product is useful for the most part, but why is it so easy for someone to install it without consent? What is Windows that have security vulnerabilities?

Please, an agency, I can tell you this and HOW do I GET THEM OUT OF MY COMPUTERS?

Thank you

Hello Matysh,

In addition to the information already provided, I add some guidelines that might help with your question.

1) go into user accounts on your computer. You can have administrator and standard accounts listed. Make sure that you have an administrator account that you created and change the password if you are the only person who knows the password.
Then, remove all the accounts that you are not familiar with or don't want on your computer. Do not remove a network Service or Local Service account.

(2) right click on the taskbar and open the tasks to the top manager. Go to the users tab. There you can see if there are other users logged on to your computer. If you are not familiar with users, select the account and disconnect the user.

(3) get your computer course before you go out on the internet.
If you use wireless, make sure that you use the most secure authentication type.
Change the passwords on routers as most ships with a password. Change the router password so that no one else has the password. Check with the documentation for the router on how to change your password.

(4) use the antivirus and malware information and make sure that your computer is free of viruses and malware before connect you to the internet.

I hope this helps.

    I deleted several user accounts and need to restart to changesw can take effect, but after that I have to restart the laptop then all user accounts have been restored?

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

    I hope this helps.

  • Installation of blackBerry Smartphones cannot continue, because not all OS requirements have been met. Please upgrade to 10.6.0 or later.

    Hello

    Recently, I injured my 9700's screen "BOLD" from blackberry to the point where it was cheaper to buy a new one, so I did and that you bought a new blackberry curve 9320. Now I need to sync my old bb "BOLD" for my mac so I can get all my old in my new bb curve information, because without it I have no information because it is stored on my bb bold and I never the saved... but I still get this error message:

    Setup cannot continue, because not all OS requirements have been met. Please upgrade to 10.6.0 or later.

    I don't know where to find this version that I downloaed later on the blackberry site. If not, how can I get my information off my old bb "BOLD" on my mac, then in my new curve bb...

    If someone wonderful can come to my rescue?

    Thanking you in advance

    Yes, OK, now I see your problem... I didn't know that your screen has been damaged at this point.

    You get this message because the current version of the "BB Desktop Manager" software claims a newer MAC OS on your machine!

    Can't upgrade you your Mac OS to the newest? Generally, these improvements are very good markets in the Mac world.

    That would allow you to install the software and then (hopefully) make a backup of your machine (blindly?) and therefore to restore the data on your new device!

    So my advice would be to upgrade your Mac operating system. The other reason to do it, is that previous versions of the software BBDM are very difficult (does not say impossible) to find on the internet.

    Good luck and we keep abreast

  • How findout if all the partitions have been deleted and now a laptop that has Windows 8 operating system using Windows Vista with a shell IE 9?

    I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.

    When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.

    When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Start > type CMD

    Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

    Type diskmgmt.msc

    Press enter

    This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system

    Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend?  Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?

    http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition

    Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system.  To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.

    To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig

    Click on the Startup tab

    You see two operating systems listed?  Windows 8, Windows Vista

    http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/

    I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions

    400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)

    • 300 MB EFI System Partition
    • 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
    • 17 GB Partition Recovery
    • 220 GB of Partition primary

    Windows Vista has drive C and drive D

    Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

  • Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7.  Now I get "the document could not be printed."  The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected.  Thoughts?

    Until a few days ago I was able to print a PDF from Acrobat Reader ms in Windows 7.  Now I get "the document could not be printed."  The next panel says "there are no pages selected to print," even if all the pages have been selected.  I've uninstalled Reader and reinstalled, but the problem remains.  I also tried to repair the installation and that doesn't work anymore.

    Thanks for the tip.  It turned out that kind Reader has been commissioning in protected mode.  I changed the setting and it prints now as before.

  • I have been hacked.

    Preliminary remarks:

    I'm not expert ESXi. I put the server to tinker.  I'm a Windows Guy.

    Is not a production company, but it's in a hardened environment.

    No one else has physical access or remote (so I thought) for this box.

    It is not on the internet.

    root password was not in dictionaries.

    What I want to know is:

    I was really hacked?

    Should what records I look?  (SSH is not on BTW)

    Without SSH how to newspapers?

    Facts:

    My Console now just says "Hey!"

    esx1.JPG

    Nothing seems to be deleted.

    I can't do anything from the console. Root... still says Hey.

    I can use the vSphere client.

    I've changed the root password and shut down all systems that I got to the top.  I guess one of the virtual machine has been compromised, and that's how the hacker (if this is the case) has got access to the internal network (reverse telnet or something). It is a segment of firewall and there is nothing sent to this system from the Internet.

    Information on the post:

    I am posting this as a learning experience for me and others. I do not know I did something stupid. I was going to just to rebuild the system (will do this anyway), but that this network has nothing of value that I didn't destroy all newspapers, I can learn from.  I got lucky... It is just a test lab.

    Welcome to the community,

    don't worry, you have not been hacked. What you see, is the "Annotations.WelcomeMessage" which can by configured in "Configuration"-> "Advanced settings".

  • You're just past my firefox at 18.2, all my favorites have been removed, why

    At about 9:00 pm EST Firefox worked normally on my pc.

    At about 11: 30 a.m. et, I opened Firefox and got a Mozilla screen that says that the program has been changed.

    Now all my favorites have disappeared.

    Why

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly or lose bookmarks can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Have you tried to reboot the computer, or run Firefox as administrator once where some files have not been properly updated?

  • My computer could have been hacked by Microsoft Technician via remote assistance?

    Last week I contact Microsoft support about a problem that I had and the technician said it needs access to my computer by the remote assistant in order to solve the problem.  I asked if he could direct me and let do me it myself but he said no, it must be connected by remote assistance.  As he'd download it told me it would take a while and he could not stay on the phone with me because he could help other customers in the meantime and said he'd call me when the download is complete.  He did call back me and was able to solve my problem.

    However shortly after my computer has been hacked and I am wondering if it is just a coincidence or could it have downloaded information from my computer.  Should I have allowed him access to remote assistance.  I am very worried.

    Your help would be appreciated

    Hello

    A Microsoft Support Engineer remote assistance is normal. If you have any other questions, maybe contact the representative of the technical support that helped you.
