[QUOTE="DrEwTiMe42o, post: 727303, member: 57777"] reinstalling OSX will not really help being that whatever security issue will still be present. For starters for protect your information i would turn file vault on( which encrypts your files) which can be found in your preferences by clicking on the apple, if someone is relaly accessing your system that will make it much harder for them to actually get anything of use. Another way to really lock your computer down( will be at the cost of some extra work by you) is to set the firewall to only connections which you allow. You will have to look through your apps and see which programs will need to make outgoing connections, By doing this you are not allowing anything not on that list to even be visible to someone from the outside. Just to be safe i would reconfigure your router's security parameters, whoever is doing this could be accessing a port on your router and making the system think he is connected to the router( hence you get the ethernet notification). Let me know how that works out for you. [/QUOTE]
