    How and what exactly do I look for remote access programs or similar?


    I have had this feeling for a while that someone is on my computer, not that I see the obvious signs of remote access nor is it frequent but sometimes it feels like my computer is being remotely accessed.The reasons to why I think its being remotely accessed are:- Microsoft Edge has redirected me to a random website whenever I search anything something among the lines of salsapet.info, but I resolved that by clearing everything in MS Edge.- Once my mouse has randomly scrolled down, including youtube controls showing by itself without me moving my cursor at all keep in mind it should only sh

    Remote Access

    1. Follow these steps to disallow remote access to your PC completely:
    2. 1. Type “remote settings” into the Cortana search box. Select “Allow remote access to your computer”. This may seem counter-intuitive, but this opens the Control panel
      dialog for Remote System Properties.
    3. 2. Check “Don't Allow Remote Connections” to this Computer. You've now disabled remote access to your computer.

    Try these two steps and tell us if your issue gets solved. If it does not then your PC may be infected. Use a Good antivirus to remove the infection from your device completely.

    Remote access

    Hi zabby937

    Did you allow those Tech Support scammers to have Remote Access to your PC, they would have asked you to allow that?

    Once you have turned off Remote Access, they can no longer access your PC.

    Open Control Panel - Programs and Features, order that list by Date Installed

    Check for any software installed on that date, like TeamViewer or LogMeIn, if you find any remoting application like those, uninstall it

    Other than that, you have taken all the right steps and your PC will be fine, you do not need to worry about this further . .
