Hacker, Glitch or POSSESSION?

[SoEnchanting]

Were you at home or using someone's server on a public computer?

I have no idea how they did this, but at school the IT people could screw with the desktop on anyone's laptop who was on the school server. They were rumored to move around the cursor or open and close certain applications just to irritate people they didn't like. (I say rumored because it never actually happened to me.)

Either way that is a very strange thing that happened to you! When my computer does act up, I'm usually like Trinity and just wait til the storm passes.

It's not a setting that can be messed with over the network, I know what she's talking about. My best guess would be a power surge or a problem with the monitor itself. They do really weird things when they start to die. Changing sizes, wobbling, other settings going awry.

I do this myself at work. There are programs that allow you to see the screen of any computer on the network. The one I use is VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/). I randomly monitor customers and record what they are doing. If I see a customer looking at porn or doing something else like that, I shut them down remotely and talk to them one-on-one.

In my case at home, the computer isn't attached to a network and I don't use a wireless internet connection.

I'm thinking you're right. The monitor might be failing on me because it does have a few years on it - and in computer age it's ancient. LOL!

Are you using the free version or a paid version, also is the free version worth downloading to try out?

We bought ours. I don't know anything about the free version, but it's useless unless other computers are on your network and configured to work with the program.
