    They usually use remote desktop software, something similar to Splashtop or VNC. Somebody did this to my mom a few years back posing as a WOW technician. She had some popup saying her computer was fucked up and to call some number and talk to some Pakistani about getting it going again. Most consumer routers use uPNP which automatically opens ports for various software upon request.

    So did you click something along the way? How did they get into it in the first place? They can't just get in with the IP address can they? I thought you had to click something.

    I have not checked the pc yet, I have no clue especially when it comes to a pc or anything with the word “smart” in the description. The person who set up my pc was a internet security guy for big corporations. Must be similar to the weather guy.

    My buddy runs a place called Power Computers if you need to have a pro check it out. He is up in Mount Clemons. If you give them a call, ask for Dave, if he is there (he does service calls) he is the man. They generally have a flat rate for repair. If you bring it there, make sure they have the background before they fire it up!

    Yeah, after reading your story I highly doubt it was any fault of the guy who set up your PC.
