Re: stolen ownership, round 2, isnt this illegal?

wow i dont know if you're more hateful or helpful. i said i was
computer-illiterate, not some half-wit moron. ofcourse i got tech support
elsewhere, you should know microsoft support is more user friendly than ever,
so even idiots like me have a chance... i couldnt read your response, it was
too long and i didnt ask for all the opinionated judgemental assumptions you
keep throwing at me. i do appreciate the fact you offered any valid response
whatsoever. you're offended because i have all caps, but i dont know you from
adam and you talk to me as if you can't stand me just because i asked for
help in the wrong way, in the wrong place, etc. give it a rest, huh? try
being civil or even friendly. if you cant do that please dont communicate
with me. thanks

Hi.

i take it
theres no way he could have wireless access to my computer?

He could, but in order to do so, you have to have a wireless network card
connected to your computer or to the router that your computer is networked
to, and he'd have to be within close proximity with a computer that can
receive the signal, or have a "repeater" repeat the signal to a network that
can receive it. So, that "close proximity" can be within 300 feet, or
within many hundreds of miles in the case of a network of repeaters.

i am just waiting to talk to a tech or maybe have someone access me and
do the diagnostics the right way so i can get disconnected.

"Waiting to talk to a tech"? Are you expecting that technician to reply to
your newsgroup messages or did you call a tech on the phone and leave a
message with your phone number so that he can call you back? If it's the
former, then be advised that most of the people who will reply to your
messages posted to the technical newsgroups _are_ techs, either as a
vocation or as a hobby. However, we're all volunteers who offer technical
advice to others who are trying to walk down the paths we've walked before
and need a little help to get pointed in the right direction. If you need
actual tech support to do what you can't do yourself, then you need to find
a friend or relative to help you, or else you need to hire tech support. If
you don't trust your Dad to do this, then ask your friends who they'd
recommend or consult the Yellow Pages in your area for reputable computer
technicians, and bring your computer to them. Don't let some stranger on
the Internet have remote access to your computer, even if he offers to do it
for free, because the chances are just too high that it will be a hacker who
wants to use your computer for illegal activities.

And are you sure that it's your Dad networked to your computer and not a
hacker? Hackers put spyware on computers all the time, so that they can
remotely control the computer and monitor activities, particularly User ID's
and passwords at bank Web sites and usage of credit cards. Do you have
anti-spyware installed on your computer to prevent and detect spyware? Do
you have a hardware firewall on your router and a software firewall on your
computer? These will stop hackers from accessing your computer if they're
configured properly. Have a computer technician set up firewalls for you if
you can't figure out how to do it correctly yourself.

the
best of my knowledge in the correct forum or newsgroup whatever. i take it
theres no way he could have wireless access to my computer? at one point i
disabled the network hardware or components and actually i doubt i could

and
do the diagnostics the right way so i can get disconnected. thanks

Hi.

First, you've posted to the security newsgroup for Microsoft Access, the
database product that's part of the Microsoft Office productivity suite,
and
is dedicated to security issues for this application, so your posts
aren't
likely to receive replies that will help you. Second, it sounds like you
are a minor whom your parents are responsible for at all times, including
when you use your computer. If this is the case, then they have a legal
responsibility to monitor your activities, regardless of whether or not
you
think it an invasion of your privacy. Third, typing in all caps is
considered shouting on the Internet, and when used for more than a
sentence
or a phrase or two, it's considered quite rude.

I WANT TO BE OFF ANY
NETWORK. I DON'T WANT TO SHARE MY FILES. I AM BEING NETWORKED AND OWNED
AGAINST MY WILL.

I seriously doubt you want to be off of _any_ network. You want to be
off
of your father's network, not the Internet's network. If I'm wrong about
this, then all you need to do is remove any NIC cards from your computer
(both the wireless network cards and the network cards where an Ethernet
cable plugs into your computer), and the modem, and no one will be able
to
see or use your files unless they have a physical presence at your
computer.

Sorry. I accidentally hit the keyboard and sent that message before I
was
ready to. ;-)

HOW CAN I GET MY PC BACK? I'LL GIVE SOMEONE REMOTE ACCESS IF THEY
WOULD JUST CLEAR THE WHOLE MEMORY AND REINSTALL THE OS SO I CAN >>>
START NEW. ALONE!

This isn't the brilliant idea that it sounds like. Many hucksters would
love to get remote access to a computer novice's computer so that they
can
set up remote file sharing. The novice would never suspect a thing, and
when the police do a raid, the novice is left to explain how those child
pornography pictures got on the hard drive. Even if it's just pirated
videos or software applications being downloaded from your hard drive to
other people across the Internet, you'll have to explain how those files
got
there, and in the meantime you'll have reduced Internet bandwidth, CPU
cycles, and hard drive space, because the freeloaders' files will take it
all from you.

If your Dad was generous enough to give you a PC, then be thankful for
the
gift and the opportunity to learn valuable computer skills. If you have
reached the age of majority and don't live under the same roof as your
parents, then you have a legal right to privacy on your computer, and you
should seek legal counsel if any family member is intentionally spying on
you and causing malicious mischief on your computer. If this is the
case,
then you should also take your computer to a computer specialist who will
wipe the hard drive and install an operating system for you, so that you
can
install the rest of your software applications yourself.

But I suspect that you want someone to do this last part remotely so that
your father doesn't know what's going on in his kid's bedroom. But trust
me
that he's going to find out very, very quickly, and you will have to face
the consequences for trying to be sneaky.
