Only shared documents can be viewed or can be easily be accessed however one can easily access your computer remotely if the checkbox "Allow user to connect remotly to this computer" is checked.With this the other person logs you out and takes control of your machine.

i get my internet from my next-door neighbor who runs a cyber cafe, is it possible for them to access information on my computers? If they can access, what measures can i put in place to prevent this? Please help.


Yes, its possible to access...it only takes 5 mins to do so.

If you want to block any access..just enable your windows firewall...with ur firewall on its very difficult to attack.smile

They can only access what you have share publicly. Like shared docs and other shared drives/folders. Also depends on OS. W7 & 8 have better security than Xp. Linux is better.

It also depends on how skilled the neighbour is or cafe users. Most importantly what there is in your computer that someone would wish to access.

any folder or file on a computer can be accessed remotely, its not only the shared ones.

How will one do remote access if it is deactivated or if they don't have login details?


by getting the login details

If you are hearing the word Encryption for the very first time or vaguely rings a bell or you hardware has nothing like TPM encryption feature that is enabled via BIOS, just do yourself a favour and get your own personal connection. Least of your worries should be someone breaking into your system, greatest of your worries is someone with the ability to intercept your communication, believe me it is very easy.... so easy I freak out using the cyber, I don't even use flashdisks to the cyber, I have my own mechanized ways of getting data from point to point.

Cloning a UI to trick people to enter their id and password is not exactly hacking .....its subterfuge, a con. A hack is vastly more technical than that.

Let me make it clear. The point is... it happened and the results are the same,your system is compromised, there is no exception that it can't happen again wherever.
