How can you tell if your computer is being hacked

We got a call this morning from someone at Microsoft stating that our computer is being hacked.  I don't trust this notification.

I'm really glad you didn't fall for it.  If you had let them into your computer, they would have stolen all your information.  It makes me SO mad.

  • How can you tell if your computer is synced w/ another one outside of your home?

    My husband moved out of the home and I think he has synced my computer with his girlfriend's. He has deleted his profile on my computer. How can I be sure he is not gaining access to info on my computer?

    You might want to have a computer professional or especially nerdy friend look at your PC, because some monitoring software is very hard to detect.
    If you use Firefox Sync, you might want to change your password.

  • How can you tell if your Apple ID was hacked

    I recently had someone hack into my account but I want to make sure that it was the person I think it was. How can I go about finding this out?

    There's no way you can determine who is doing it.
    As for making it stop, the best way to handle this would be to enable two-factor authentication on the Apple ID. See:

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!
    -Monty

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

  • How can you tell if your podcast is streaming or if you're playing from a download?

    Yesterday I downloaded a podcast with the new Podcasts app on my iPhone. To play the podcast (while away from my WiFi), I tapped the episode in the Episodes list. I assumed I was playing the downloaded version. This morning, when I checked my data usage, it was 87MB more than it was yesterday! Does this mean that I inadvertently STREAMED the podcast instead? How can you tell?

    This is the itunes forum.  Your question seems to have nothing to do with itunes.
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.  Try those.

  • How do you tell if your iphone has been hacked?

    How do you tell if you iphone has been hacked? I have an iphone 3GS and I've gotten text messages from 2 different people that i don't know, telling me they can't see the pics that I've sent them & wanting to know what the pics are of. One of the numbers had been part of a group message that I recieved from a friend. I just thought she ended up responding back to me by mistake thinking she was sending a message to the originater of the group message.Then a couple weeks later i got another text from a person I have never contacted wanting to know who I was & why I was sending multimedia messages that she couldn't open. Just trying to figure out what is going on. If I postd this on the wrong group, please let me know which one I need to post this on. Thanks.

    Well that's good to know. As far as I know the phone has not been jailbroken, unless it was done before I bought it. I purchased it used from an individual who said it was restored to factory defaults.
    It just concerns me that people are texting me telling me that I'm sending them pics that they can't open. I've checked my bill online & nothing shows up that shouldn't be there.

  • Re: PUSH Availability;  How Can You Tell if Your ISP Supports "PUSH"

    Seeing my response to a earlier query may not be read by some based on the lengthy thread it is apart of, I thought I would paste it here for all to see which may help some of you determine if your ISP supports PUSH.
    I had a call 3-wk's ago with an APPLE Applications Specialist regarding "PUSH" in general and learned the following:
    1. Not all ISP's (in my case Verizon), provide PUSH capabilities.
    2. Specialist dropped a few ISP's in the process and I don't believe YAHOO was one that provided PUSH(?) You will need to check with them or READ BELOW on what you can do to check this on your iPHONE...
    3. Mobile.Me provides PUSH as does MS Exchange Server's and gmail
    4. On a side note, there have been reported issues of "FETCH" not working as it should, whereas, it may not fetch at the selected intervals (15-min, 30-min, 60-min) and APPLE is aware of this
    To CHECK and see if your ISP does SUPPORT "PUSH", do the following:
    SETTINGS > FETCH NEW DATA > Scroll down to ADVANCED field > Select the email account(s) field you have activated. (if you have deactivated one of your email accounts, as I do with my MS Exchange when I am in my home office in front of my laptop, you will have to activate it in order to check its PUSH availability out)
    ... from there, you will note two or three available fields (Fetch; Manual or PUSH), with a check mark by one of them.
    ... if your email account(s) only show "Fetch" or "Manual" as options, then your ISP does NOT support PUSH (as my Verizon FiOS ISP does not), therefore, you are limited to only "Fetch" capabilities
    ... if your email account(s) show all three options (Fetch, Manual & PUSH) then your ISP "HAS" PUSH capabilities... as does my business related MS Exchange server indicate.

    I wasn't aware that Google provides/supports Push access with a Gmail account on the iPhone - which would be supported when accessing the account as an IMAP account, not as a POP account. You can access a Gmail account as a POP or IMAP account, which is rare for an email account provider to support both.
    You can access a Yahoo account on the iPhone via Push. When using the Yahoo account preset when creating the account, the account is created as an IMAP account that supports Push access.

  • How can you tell if your drive is 7200rpm model or not?

    I just received my new MBP via FedEx - so far, love it. I bought the 2.53 version and upgraded the hard drive to 320GB at 7200rpm. I can't for the life of me figure out how to see in my settings if this is in fact the 7200rpm model or if it's the 5400rpm model. I just want to make sure I'm getting what I paid for. I opened the back up and the drive itself doesn't say it's running speed. When I pull it up in finder it doesn't say. So how can I find out?

    Just got my new MBP via FedEx this afternoon.
    I ordered the 320GB HDD @ 7200 RPM. It is the same as noted above. It is the $50 upgrade that Apple offers. Standard drive is 5400 RPM.
    All drives that Apple offers are Serial ATA (1.5GB/s), none are SATA II (3GB/s). The only difference is in RPM. (5400 standard vs. 7200 upgrade)
    Curiously the nvidia chipset is 3GB/s capable. Strange that 3GB/s support is not offered.
    To answer OPs question, yes, the drive is 7200 RPM.

  • How can you tell if a computer problem is a hardware or software problem? My Macbook pro is always freezing!!

    I've been using my Macbook Pro for about 5 months. The first 3 months were great. But now it makes my life harder!!!
    It's always freezing.
    Any suggetions.

    Something doesn't sound right here. You say you have been using the MBP for 5 months and your profile say you are running 10.4.10. A MBP bought five months ago should have Snow Leopard 10.6. Of did you get this MBP used five months ago? Before we can help you must tell the straight story.
