    Remote access to my laptop

    I wasn't familiar with this brand, but nothing else was available and my wife wanted her wifi. I know it was very stupid of me to let someone into my computer. I knew better and did it anyway. Do you know if it would have been possible for him to get into/infect any other devices on my network?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm ok with the all Users now. I still don't understand why a disk I had just burned with only one thing on it would ask to install something else, but macht nichts.

    Solved Program installed on my HDD I didn't install.

    I did have nst-26-9267.86_ in my downloads and it wasn't showing the .iso. I think when I downloaded it i may have double clicked on it, thinking it was a program install. I don't remember anything asking to mount it though. Thank you so much for the help.
