can I check if someone has been access to my computer without my permission
the computer is working, but not connected to a working network. have my own email address and access to the internet. I have a password for the connection, but a few people in the office to know it. How can I check whether a person has opened my computer for a period of time when I'm not in. is it possible?
It is possible, but you must first enable auditing of connection events. This is only possible on XP Pro. You can then check that and this connected using (start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc") event viewer to inspect the security log.
For instructions on how to configure auditing,
Start-> Help and Support
and then type in "edit local security settings" in the "Search" window
Moreover,.
Control Panel-> administration-> local security policy tools.
and local policies-> Audit policy

.. .is a preserved journal of last time computer was turned on and connected?
Hi Tyrone,
While you should follow the advice of ahaap, maybe this could help in the meantime:
Go to Control Panel / administrative tools / observer of events and double click to open it.
On the left, expand Event Viewer Local (if not already done), and then expand Windows logs and then click Security to view the security event. They should be sorted by date. When the computer starts, there are usually plenty of events that occur. Search Login task category (there may be also a large number of them, some who have succeeded and some failed and some for the users of the system and others for regular users) and you should be able to see then not only the last time that a connection has occurred, but exactly what the user connected (although you may need to go through a few entries to find the information you want).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

some how a folder with photos has been deleted and were not supposed to be I can get them back
===================================
First of all, check your trash... perhaps that the folder is there.There are programs of software designed to recover the
delete files... some detail and some are free.The following freeware is an example and you can
find others with a Google search.For hard drive recovery, it would be preferable to
Use the portable version and run it from external
source such as a memory card or a USB flash drive to reduce
the possibility of replacing the deleted files.(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

How can I prevent the Contacts log? someone has set up on my pc without my permission
Someone has recently implemented a 'Contactlog' on my pc that saves my activity on Hotmail. I suspect it's my partner who suffers from paranoia and was made without my permission or knowledge since March 09 from the journal. Please can you advise how I stop it / remove it. I tried to delete the log that is in a format txt, but it says that it cannot remove that another program is underway elsewhere when I see everything open. Please can you help me.

I think that my computer is accessed remotely, files and emails being read. I disabled remote access in the Services section and have also disabled Mobile Sync; I did not use one of these services.
When I took the remote procedure call (RPC) service and open the properties, the logon tab has the section "This account" clicked, "Network Services" typed in the box and a password. I can't change anything on this tab properties. I can't disable the service or disable the 'unattached profile '. How access to this service to make changes and more importantly, how can I confirm that someone logging into my system to remote and checking e-mails, files, etc.. This isn't a networked system, it's my computer in my home office. I am running Vista Ultimate.

How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?
I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information. Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin? I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.
Thank you
Hello
You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.

Hi Robhofm,
Usually the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) automatically monitors Windows programs and services. You can increase your protection by having DEP monitor all programs.
For the program being stopped by DEP, you will receive an error message indicating the cause of the stop and the name of the program.

* Original title: Windows 10
I was on my laptop when I get that annoying pop about 10 Windows and X is turned off. Today it pops up behind what I was watching and by chance I saw because 10 Windows has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button you never try and hack my laptop without my permission. If you want to explain 10 Windows it's good.
It is a forum for peer-to-peer volunteers public World Wide web.
Essentially, you missed (or simply press the 'X') the message you plan / cancel the upgrade. It is more a case of 'you don't say no... " (that does not suck).
Learn more about that here:
Basically (with some variations) three ways to restore your computer to a previous operating system, once it has been upgraded to Windows 10...
* Best method: restore using a full image backup of the system that you have created in your normal computer maintenance tasks. If you do not do so during your normal maintenance, you should probably expand it once you get things in the State you want. If you've done one, but still need help to apply it, just answer here and someone can / will surely help you.
Possible next method: (with reservations as being less than 30 days since the upgrade, you having not done anything that would affect the three necessary directories to restore like disk cleanup or or using online media creation tool) use integrated Windows 10 to your previous operating system recoverability. The following link will take you to a web page that explains this method pretty well and completely:
http://www.CNET.com/how-to/Windows-10-how-to-roll-back/Possible next method: use your installation media/recovery media to restore the system to the factory settings and update/install other apps using their media and restore periodic backups / consistent personal and other data. It is a CLEAN INSTALLATION (from scratch).

Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer
I get this message and let me know what it means. "Password Bank found that Firefox has been uninstalled from this computer. Please confirm following elevation request to remove orphan password Bank support.
Hello!
It seems a similar problem has been reported in the past, already, for example here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954186
Chances are that you have advanced security software on your computer that you're not using (banking password), which can eventually be removed from your computer (because it seems that you do not use).
I would suggest finding the control panel for your computer and removing Bank of your system password, if you know how to do this.
