Security - July 2007

I would really like to know because my sister always goes on my computer and messes with it, changing it to her creepy boyfriend's band. I want to know if I can have it on but it now requires a password to change.

an information on trojans said i could be infected but i have a very updated anti-virus software. as a matter of fact, i installed my pc with a security suite from a very popular company. i always scan my pc and update my signatures everyday. my pc is clean. what could have possibly caused my mouse moving like that by itself?
is an updated AV software is enough or do I need a separate "anti-trojan" software if there is any? if there is, what is the specific name of the program? thanks a lot....

How secure is peer to peer?
For example in some countries which are heavily censored i.e. China, Tunisia,etc. can the Internet "Gestapo" check what one is downloading and/or intercept?

Whenever my computer is disconnected from the internet (like when i disconnect it from the router) and I open a folder (any folder, say My Documents), internet explorer opens at least 50 i.e. windows at the same time. my computer lags and this is what it looks like:

the 50 i.e. windows all have the same url on the address bar (although i don't recommend for anyone to click it. i don't want this to happen to you guys too):

How do I stop i.e. from doing this? I've tried Norton, Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ewido, & AVG Anti-Spyware, and even have Zone Alarm installed on my computer. They all failed me (grr!)

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate and my Windows Live OneCare subscription is about to end.

What are your recommendations for the best anti-virus software? Also, it doesn't have to be a free anti-virus program.

Thanks a lot!!

If two computers in the same household are sharing a router (wireless or not), can one computer "spy" on another?

Meaning: Can someone in my house see what I am doing on my computer with their computer?

I suspect that the neighbor/landlord may be piggybacking his cable TV and cable internet from me. Is there any easy way to prevent this? Maybe by reassigning input ports or something? Bandwidth is at a high premium these days, and I'm not interested in paying an astronomical price for a sub-par connection.
