Re: Information in Computer Management tool

I basically just wanted to know if those NTentries belonged in there. This is
an un-networked PC. No one else should be on it.

He's a hacker.

So many things have gone wrong that I don't know where to begin. Right now,
when I turn the computer on, I get the screen but without any icons. I'm
unable to turn the computer off normally. I have to unplug it. When I plug it
in again and reboot, I do see the icons.

I often have to open a window twice for it to work. I'll get a blank screen
or an error screen the first time.

I feel like someone is on the computer with me. It's very slow. Granted,
it's a dial-up connection, but I know from experience that it's not supposed
to be that slow.

I'm afraid to put a password on Administrator. I put on an excellent one,
which I tested. I went out for a few hours. When I came back, the password
had been changed. I couldn't reformat the computer. I couldn't get access to
Administrator for almost a year. My son-in-law finally got rid of the
password somehow. (He's a systems administrator, but they don't live nearby.)

When I download updates from Microsoft, he gets in and trashes my computer.
I wish they'd put Service Pack 3 on a disk.

There's nothing I can do about this obsessed freak, so I have to learn how
to work around him. Basically, I have a Trojan that no antivirus or
antispyware program can find.

As long as I don't try to password Administrator, he gives me access. I've
seen in the log that I shut down the computer while someone was still working
on it. I get the feeling that he's using Windows NT, because when I reformat,
I get a message that another OS is on the partition and I'll be wiping it
off. That, as well as all those NT entries, leads me to believe that he's
using Windows NT.

Being attacked and have malware on the PC are two completely different things.

You need to fully describe what you tink is or what appears to be you computer being
attacked.

You said "but he still gets in."
- Who gets in ?
- How do you know ?
- What evidence ?

You really need to state some facts here !
