    unauthorized remote access, how do I find the program & then stop it?


    Hi guys a friend of mine recently let a guy into her system from 'Microsoft' (yeah I know Ive told her many times !) anyway he's obviously installed something so he can log on and do what he likes. (she thought it was teamviewer but I cant find any reference to that) I have anydesk on so I can help her.
    He locked her out of her account but I sorted that. Ive run the proprietory virus scanners both online and offline, and removed a few bits but nothing that would allow login. Ive checked the event security logs and found when he got in but so far I haven't come across the program/culprit is there a better easier/way to do this or program to help?
    Ive run a network scanner/task manager in case he logged in again and I could see whats happening but that's not happened .. she has windows 10 Home v1903
    any advice appreciated

    :)

    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 . .
