I use a wireless modem to get on the internet at Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go device. Is it possible for some to get access to my PC, when this device is active?

I have these multiple .exe running on my registry? security of wireless modem?

I have 2 questions:

1. I use a wireless modem to get on the internet at Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go device. Is it possible for some to get access to my PC, when this device is active?

2. I think that someone is due to ghosting my PC. On my registry, I have 2 of the following: iexplore.exe attributed to administrator. Then I have an explorer.exe attributed to administrator. I have 6 svchost.exe running 2 assigned the Local, 2 assigned to network service and 2 running service attributed to the system. Can anyone provide an answer why I have these multiples, exe running on my registry?

Thank you very much

Hello
 
Yes, it is possible to gain access to your computer; but not without your permission. The firewall on the computer prevents any unauthorized entry. Refer to the following articles.
 
What is a firewall?
 
Windows Firewall
 
How will I know if a wireless network is secure?
 
When you say "Record" do you mean "Services" in the Windows Task Manager. Its common to have these processes or services to run in the background.
'iexplore.exe' means 'Internet Explorer'.
'explorer.exe' means 'Windows Explorer'.
 
What is svchost.exe?
 
You can scan your computer with MSE to check the virus or malware if it affects your performance.
 

The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

 

Hope this information is useful.

  • to use my android with my laptop using Windows phone 7 to access the internet via my mobile network without wifi

    I tried to use pdanet as well as samsung software to activate droid to attach it to my computer and allow my computer to use my mobile network (no wifi).  can't seem to make this work.  my computer shows the phone droid as a recognized device.

    Sorry was a little confused, you ask a question on a Microsoft Forum Android.

    On android, you try to perform a "tie".  Depending on your operator, which may require add them a feature to your account to make it work.  There are several applications out there, that you can use to root your phone to install applications that will try to fake on the carrier.  Here's a piece of Security Council 'Root never your phone', it will cause problems and make you more vulnerable to exploitation thereafter.

    But back to tie, I guess that you do not want to pay for an app for a quick search of the Amazon AppStore poster a few promising ones:

    If you use Safari, you can run it with the SHIFT key. This may also work in other web browsers. If it is not, disconnect the computer from the Internet and close the tab which produced the popup.

  • Can connect to the wireless router, but not to the Internet

    Because I could not find this post, I published in my problem to

    Windows 7, connecting Local only, no Internet

    I think I described the problem a bit better here.

    I had a Gateway DX4300-17 with Windows 7 Home Premium for about six weeks. I connect to the Internet via a Netgear wireless router. My Internet connection dropped often, but I've always been able to reconnect to the Saturday. Since the start-up my computer Sunday, when I try to connect to the Internet, the system tells me that I am connected to the router, but there is no connection between the router and the Internet. I did a system restore to Friday, but it did not help. I searched the Knowledge Base and tried several things I found there. Running "sfc/scannow" indicates that all is well. I disabled the '6' Protocol (I don't remember the letters that were with this, but you probably know what I mean). This made no difference either. I thought I would ask for help here in the hopes of not having to restart the computer to the "hospital". That's a very different problem here barely a week. I need help, please.

    Hello Bill6009,

    Have you tried to boot your computer in SafeMode w/network to see if the problem persists?

    If so, try to perform a clean boot to see if you encounter the same problem.

    Please post back your results if we can help get your problem solved J

I just disabled the router, waited for about ten seconds and he turned his back and that's what it took. I used actually utility of Windows troubleshooting and he advised me to do.
