unauthorized use of wireless laptop by???

by katiedd1991 . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

Hello all. I recently discovered unwanted, hidden files on my laptop. When I opened it up I recieved the msg “selected files ready to be burned to disc” I clicked to view files and there were files I did not know existed. Even though I no longer have my wireless box set up, I frequently see “detecting wireless network” Two are secure one is unsecure. I did some delving into my computer and saw that on the dates the previous mentioned files were downloaded it listed my computer but NT authority as the USER. (normaly I am listed as the user) I am trying to determine if a neighbor or someone within range could have logged onto my computer and downloaded these files. I did not have a password set on my laptop (or virus software-stupid) Why would it select these files to burn unless someone selected them? Can that be done remotely? HELP!!
