Good evening, I am hoping there is a security guru out there. I first started using Vista forums because I felt my system might be being compromised. I still feel that way only recently I have had new facts to sustain my feelings.
1) I have simple dial up, no broadband or wireless but my recent files and many of my documents are “roaming” folders. My public folder has become shared and I can’t change it, another account of mine the desktop is being shared. I deleted another account because i could not delete the documents from inside the shared folder. It would give me a message saying”you cannot delete this folder because it is being shared with someone” The other users accounts I have, at least I can delete the documents but I cannot stop them from being shared.
2) I have adhoc dlls files and many migration dll files. When I go into the help and support on the vista start menu I cannot access some features because it gives me a message that "this cant be accessed because your computer is on a domain" But I am not on a domain, I don t share files with anyone, no one touches my computer, at least not from inside my house, I don’t share my files or any folders. I am not on a network, just a simple dial up account with only one computer on it, at least that is what is supposed to be.
All these queries have been happening for about a month now, I just gather more and more evidence as it occurs. Also in the past month my system configuration folder has become inaccessible to me three times. I have used system restore to fix it.
3) If I open up some files instead of opening up in word documents where they were saved they connect to the internet and open up in something I am new to called “xsi:schemat location's” . i have tons of xml files that connect to the internet, which since I am new to these formats didn’t scare me too much, but when I started to see files I have saved in WordPad and notepad start to open up on some internet location it was obvious to me along with all these other curiosities I have mentioned that someone has created shares and my files are being sent over to a different computer or a strange ftp location on the internet that I am unaware of.
I know I can reinstall my software but I am really getting tired of doing it, I have done it at least five times since I bought this computer last year. Each time, the computer is fine for a while and then strange oddities begin happening again.
I need a soldier in the army against lowlife hackers to please come to my aid and tell me what can I do.
I am saving many of these dll files as evidence on a separate usb, they are too strange to just delete, some show I even have radio analog waves trying to access my computer. Whose ever computer it is obviously has win xp because in the dll files it says many times this program cannot be used on newer versions of windows along with error messages for whatever the application was trying to be used on my computer. I will eventually re do the computer again, but is there anyone who can tell me what precautionary measures to take or suggest software that can stop these attacks. Thank you.
