computer glitch
I must admit I am behind times, but then I am old, as well as old fashioned. Shucks - I even look for the crank on the telephone ! A kid in elementary school probably understands a PC more than I. So considering all that, I request some input from some of you who are into those electronic wizards. I was given a computer for Father's Day a while back, and I must admit I like it , but do well to turn it on.A few months back I turned it on , then a message came on the monitor which stated , "someone is using this computer". How could that be , I have never given anyone my password. I changed my password. I did at that time receive notice that my hard drive was almost full and the"system restore" would not function. I have a relative who uses his PC in his business and I ask him about the problem. he checked and found there were 2 items on the hard drive which took up all the space. He is pretty savvy, he managed to clean them out. The PC worked better , but then I received a message which stated, "A party asks permission to use this computer." I inquire, - who is that party? Answer came back, "Party unknown".
You who are intelligent about computers, please give me your idea of why this is happening. and what I can do to keep it from happening again. studecar

But you must admit, it's better with computers today.
A party asks permission to use this computer. 2 things usually cause this problem with windows 10. One is remote access and the other is Administrator account not logged in, is corrupt or file damage, etc. This normally is caused when attampting to make changes to programs or the OS Operation system.

You can't run Outlook on Win 7 computer so go back to school and buy Student version of that, backup what it does with Outback Plus 9 backup program.
Install FireFox (I prefer Nightly) and download and install Yandex Browser to...
Having done that completely lawful process, get yourself a good backup program like "Macrium Refect" and then get that to make Grandfather backup image of your whole system and have that saved onto an external Hard Drive.
Then if you want bit more security Clone your computer onto another Hard Disk and save it somewhere safe for a rainy day.
Now install PAID Spybot, PAID Malwarebytes, PAID SuperAntiSpyware antivirus programs.
And OP then loan your wife to your mate instead and keep other people off your computer
I hope you get your computer situated sorted anyway. I miss the hand written letter, probably should have been born in Jane Austen days. Hope you get it sorted.
