[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1579150, member: 38864"] If you have screen sharing enabled, then it's certainly possible someone discovered/guessed your password, logged into your system remotely and took control using that. Also, do you routinely log into your Mac as root? EDIT: And when you enabled root (because you do have to deliberately do so), you DID use a strong password, didn't you? And for that matter, why did you enable it? [/QUOTE]
