I live at an extended stay hotel and they have their own wireless service for the entire hotel. I have been having problems with person having remote control of my computer by moving things, freezing the cursor, and after I have shut down using my computer while I am away. What can I do?

Even more important, turn off remote desktop. Go into your control panel and double-click on the system icon. THen click on the remote tab and disable remote desktop. Also if you have a blank password for any of the accounts on your computer, you need to assign passwords to them.

1) Keep the computer off when not there
2) Lock down the resources on your computer to prevent this.

3) Set up firewall programs on your PC. Microsoft has a built in firewall, other products such as Sygate are also available.

Turn off file and printer sharing. When your computer is shut down, nothing can be moved.

Yep, make sure you are not sharing anything on the network :).
