How to Check if Someone is Remotely Accessing Your Computer

What I got from this video. How to Check if Someone is Remotely Accessing Your Computer 1. Open up Task Manager and look for rogue programs. 2. Run programs that look for roque programs. Thanks, that helps a lot.

The only rogue programs I see in Task Manager are Chrome and Microsoft.

Words cannot describe how grateful i am for this Caroline series. You have helped me so much and also showed me that it was ok to open up about the grief on my channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏻

Yeah, when you get a computer running Windows virused or malwareed up it's never the same just cleaning them off. Seems to leave glitches and issues from then on. Clean install of windows is the way to clean this up. Thanks for the tips on keeping an eye on malicious programs infecting our PCs

Thank you very much for sharing. Help a lot!

I just recieved my first high end router in my entire life (it was a Christmas gift to myself (early I know) for completing several projects at work) and I never knew just how powerful a router can be for security once configured properly. Your channel and others like it have been a great boon for a lot of people out there and we do really appreciate the hardwork you do to educate people. Seasoned IT professionals and amateurs alike always have something to learn in this field. (There is too much for us to know everything!) Thank you so much, Mr. Britec! I look forward to your next lesson!

This is very very very helpful and important information man thank you...

I worked for a terrible employer (…didn’t know this til the end…). I was an outside sales guy where I used my personal private home computer, on rare occasions, to do some work related tasks - simple spreadsheet development, print an email, etc. Well, to my not knowing or being notified they somehow gained remote access to my computer. They could see everything, every click, every mouse move, bank accounts….ALL! It was not good, felt violated & all sorts of the like. Wish I would have known of this video content back then.

I get Phishing Emails constantly. Have to always look twice. Thanks, once again.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of accessible options when it comes to anti virus/malware software for us blind users. We are an underserved demographic in this regard.

This is Michael. I usually like your work but this was pretty useless. The first major fail is that you don't tell people how to disable remote access. The second is that there's no way the average person can know what's a rogue program when there are so many weird names on programs in the operating system both in terms of processes and services. The only useful things you said were to get a good antivirus program and utilize process Explorer

Part of the problem is Windows is so primitive they allow any program to get installed anywhere the creator wanted even in the OS area. The OS should be protected, no one should be installing anything in the OS directory. Each application should be installed under its own tree, and it should not require root for installation. Applications should not be using OS locations, OS utilities, OS "registries", OS anything other than using shared system libraries (that are read-only). This chaotic, messy setup that Microsoft has created makes it difficult to see if a process is legit or not.

Hi Brian. Just a quick one. If i dissable all Remote settings in windows can this type of thing still happen?? Disabling Remote settings is one of the first things ive always done.

Thanks so much for your great work with load of knowledges and details! When I click on Whois it said : Failed to get Whois information. Any suggest?

I believe you failed to mention one of the best countermeasures for a typical system is to create and use a regular user account for everything, put a strong password on the administrator account and use it only when needed. I work IT, and even at home, I refuse to run as Administrator for things like browsing the internet, or doing darn near anything else. It is JUST one of many measures that one takes to keep their system clean. It matters not if you are using Linux or Windows, the concept is exactly the same. Not running as Administrator is one of the best things one can do for their own computers; sometimes less convenient, but better practice. Some folks may think that this is about merely finding out if one's computer is compromised; and how to clean it up; but staying clean is part of the problem.

expected video sir😊thank you❤love from India ❤😊

Cheers Brian, good to know, I do a Kaspersky Total full scan every 10 days or so.

Thank you it's nice to be aware of all that

You have a decided advantage in spotting rogue programs when you installed the rogue programs yourself. It's more problematic when someone else did it. In my experience, most of the rogue programs that plague Windows were put there by Microsoft.
