Please!!!!!!!!!someone help me (computer question)
I had a friend come over who is a computer tech. to fix a few things
on my computer.
Ever since when i sign on my screen rolls and when i go to my fav.
places it moves up and down real fast.
Look i know this Jack Ass has my IP address.
What can i do to prevent this????????? It only does it when he is
signed on.
I've lost my privacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firewall is not preventing this.

2. Hey
Just go install SpyBot Search and Destroy and get a great Privacy Filter. It will prevent anybody from having any access to your PC.

8. BTW
I would recommend downloading the free trail of http://www.iolo.com/sm/ and go ahead and clean up your entire system at once. It will work wonders for you. I love it. There is a 30 day free trial version.

3. Sounds like he did something that changed the video settings...
I doubt he is getting in through the net and doing this. He just screwed something up.

He could have set the video resolution to a setting that your monitor does not really support. It might have looked OK while he was there, too. Did the SIZE of the icons and text on the screen change at all after he worked on it?

Conversely, there might be a little knob on the back of your monitor for vertical hold, and adjusting this would fix your problem. Mostly only older monitors will have this, though.

4. I'm not sure he's causing it
Although I'm not clear on what exactly you're describing. Is it the screen that is acting flaky, and not the mouse pointer moving up and down real fast?
