Logon events that happen while you're away aren't necessarily malicious

It's perfectly normal for a system to experience logon events despite no intrusion. You don't even need any third party programs installed for this to occur; Windows itself will generate logon events.

For example, Windows comes configured out of the box with various tasks scheduled in Task Scheduler. When one of these tasks runs, it must be started in the context of a user account, even if that's something like the built-in SYSTEM account. This generates a logon event and is logged to the Security event log with event ID 4624.

How to identify unwanted logons

If you suspect unwanted use of your computer, then you need to look more closely at the events themselves. Specifically you should inspect the Logon Type field which distinguishes how the account was logged on. The possible types are:

The logon types that are most suggestive of someone having gained interactive/remote access are 2, 7, 10, and 11.

For any suspicious logon events, observe the Account Name and Account Domain fields as these will usually identify the name of the user that logged in.

If your system has already been compromised, then unwanted logons may be taking place. However, if such logons are being attempted but are failing, these can be inspected by reviewing event ID 4625 in the Security log which indicates an attempted, but failed logon event. The Logon Type and other fields discussed above apply to these events as well. (Note that your system must be configured to log these events before they are captured in the Event Viewer.)
