[QUOTE="mm4real, post: 1263091, member: 207180"] Hello guys, I am asking for assistance in a specific security question. I am a student and total noob to macs. I recently changed to Mac because of my job. The software is MacOS v10.6.7 and hardware is Imac 4.1. I work from home and I communicate with my bureau via Ichat (we talk, share files and desktops) so Remote Management and Remote Login are always turned on. Lately I got a funny feeling as someone is snooping around in my computer. My questions are: 1) Is there a way I can detect an intruder such as my bureau when we are not chatting or someone else (an unknown) and, 2) How can I be sure no one has entered my computer in the past? Are there any log files and where can I find them or something else... idk what that could be. I really don’t mind sharing my comp with my employee but I have no understanding for snooping around if I don’t know they are doing it and I cannot imagine the worst scenario someone else I don’t even know was the intruder. Thank you very much for your help in advance. p.s. excuse me please if I posted in the wrong forum [/QUOTE]
