That is what some people refer to as a ghost writer. Someone has taking control of your computer and they are opening those applications and running hacking software in the background. This ususally takes place if you do not have good antivirus software or you are in a network of some kind and the boss or the administrator of the network is doing it.

If your computer is brand new and the latest piece of technology you would have a language bar which has to do with voice recognition. It should be on the taskbar or floating at the top. If you see it make sure that it is turned of by clicking on the microphone icon.

Do not waster your time on research. Transfer all your data onto CDs or some storage device. Format your harddisk and re-install windows, anti-virus and other packages.Set firewall settings to prevent network virus and RPC problems. Scan your backup cds and restore your saved files onto the computer.

yeah someone has linked to your computer through the internet using a virus.. disconnect from the internet and use a spyware remover and hopefully it will solve it.. but most likely not..

Could be that someone has VPN on your network and the administrators are having fun with you.
