Is there anyone who knows how I can reveal
whether another person is remote monitoring
my machine without my knowledge.
I sincerely appreciate any help you may give
Kind regards

No one can mess with your computer if it's off in a first place. The only way someone can get in is with a program call Timbuktu. unless you have this programm in your machine or you are connected to other machines in a network and they know your password, or you have downloaded software from someone over ICQ,
you are just imagining things....

The remote monitoring without your knowledge is....highly unlikely. If you want to feed your paranoia let's not rule out keystroke recorder programs. They work invisibly in the background. It is LOCAL, yes, and not REMOTE, but CATH seems not to know all that much about it and may be open to that sugestion, and that of the single bullet theory of JFK's death, and countless other conspiracy crapola.
You know: If you wear a tinfoil hat the government mind control rays can't get you.
I'm sure the guy who 'eats beans' could tell us more about it.

Rule 1.
If you dont have anything to say.
Dont.
Even back in August 99. The remotecontrol programs netbus and Backorifice where well known. They are designed to let sommone else taker control of your computer. Can be removed with any updated virus program.
Unlike Timbuktu wich is a regular program. You just have to uninstall it.

lets think what you very trying people are saying...

ask your self this...
1. how to you connect on to the internet..
....if you can figure that out.....then you will see just how easy it is...

but for the books...if you are not online then no one can touch you..

for the books again very easy to gain remote use to ones computer .., only one .exe you must feed them..

all those hacking programs are all for fun..

just think about it......
