Hi everyone,

I have a problem regarding remote desktop on my pc...

I doubt that my brother remote desktop on my pc from his office....but i dont know how to detect it and prove it to dad....

is it possible that he can remote desktop on my pc from his office ?? and there is no unknown application is running as shown in task manager....but can there be some application which is running on background without being displayed in task manager??

I dont know what to do to make it block or identify.....

plz tell me the exact correct solution for blocking or detecting it...i want it to be blocked forever and no application can unblock it...

plz help...

If you block all incoming requests and don't forward any ports, Windows firewall is sufficient to block remote desktop. With a better firewall, you can also specifically allow only selected applications access to the Internet.
