OS = Windows 7
Security = Avira AntiVir Personal.
Connection = BT via BT Router
I'm getting a bit anooid/worried now. LAst week my computer was hacked and links to an unmentionable site were posted in a thread on here and various other sites I visit aswell as links to said site been posted on FAcebook to the majority of my friends.
I have had similar in the past, but put it down to a mate messing about on my PC while I was out the room, as the posts were all quite funny..
Anyway, just been sat watching MotoGPon telly and glanced over at my computer to see that Outlook had been opened aswell as a few other folders on my desktop, and I could see the cursor moving about.
A mate did a bit for me a week or two ago using Remote Desktop, I have checked that and all settings are back to normal. i.e, nobody can connect..
When I used Kaspersky I would get warnings popping up of network intrusion and I was able to check from where the intrusions came from.
Does anybody know if Avira has this facility, as I have not been able to find it ? Any ideas..? Or any ideas of a beter free AV...?
Edit: My SSID is also hidden, and all computers connect to the router via Ethernet Cable
