.

ok i did that and there is one with jsut a blank there, if i disable some of those items would it be harmful to my computer?

ok not to mention he would have to know the following:

1) Your WAN IP, which is most likely dynamic

2) an account or access to an account

3) You would have to have ports 5900 open (vnc) and/or 3389 (MS RDC) on your router

I don't think this dude has access to your computer.

Windows has some services running at all times, if you haven't turned them off, that are popular hacking tools. Run Services.msc and just look around..... I will check it out and get back to you

Are you behind a router? Routers block all ports unless forwarded for remote access. Unless this guy has planted some sort of trojan. Almost every default retail router support NAT which by default does not allow any remote host to connect.

Has this person ever had physical access to your computer?
