...possible reason for....? I have a secured wireless router on DSL, and have Norton Internet security on, and have Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
The computer was idle, but was on and connected to the internet, with the flash drive in it.
Then I noticed the light on the flash drive was blinking as it usually does when I use it, but I was not doing anything on the computer. The drive has sensitive information on it.
I fear that someone could have accessed my computer and was browsing my files. Is there any other explanation of what may have been going on?
The drive seems OK and I can find nothing altered in the files.
The only recent changes to the computer is that I installed a MagicJack, (phone accessory) and a program called MediaRing Talk, which required changes to the registry, and restart.
Is there any way to determine if any of the files were accessed?
I right clicked the drive and looked at "properties" and it indicated when the files were created, but "properties" does not indicate "Last accessed".
Are there any log files I can look at in the computer see if anything was opened on this drive?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
