    Hello! And I will begin by saying I am 1000% sain and I have a detective working to solve my issues. For over 2yrs someone has been invading my privacy in every aspect possible. I finally had enough evidence for an IT guy to create a report that states IP addresses of where this data is being transmitted. The detective doesn't specialize in IT/computers so she couldn't help and my IT guy hasn't responded all day. I have a home phone plugged into my modem using a DSL filter. My PC is powered down-I attempted to make a call on the phone and had a dial tone but also VERY CLEARLY can hear what ended up being satellite radio-streaming. I may be incorrect, but I am guessing that whoever this creeper person is that is always "listening" and doing multicasting from my desktop to his IP address, I must be hearing what is being streamed to his computer through my handset because he was somehow connected to my machine? Is this possible? Looking for help/answers because I kept my phone off the hook all day to keep hearing this streaming radio in hopes that someone would be able to trace/capture-whatever needs to happen to find out the source in hopes that it is indeed the perpetrator and a warrant can then be issued. I'm in desperate need of assistance! If anyone could help or guide me to the right place for these types of things I would be forever grateful! Thank you!

    Seen this before...

    1. Is this a land line telephone or an internet based service? If you have another phone connected to a wall jack, just pick up to see if you are getting a dial tone there, or you can unplug the phone later (after you have had a chance to do some detective work) and plug it straight into the phone jack in your wall to see. If you want to see now, but don't have a phone plugged in, find one or borrow one and plug it into a wall jack to check to see if you have a dial tone.

    2. If you have IPs that's a good first step. One thing you can do is Google the IP addresses. This will give you a location (not necessarily the correct one) of where the IP is reported assigned. It's sort of reassuring to get some measure of information on who is invading your privacy, even it it's not necessarily accurate.

    3. I am assuming that you have Windows. It would help to know which version of Windows you have. It's a good idea in these days and times to make sure that all sharing functions are off on your PC. Pass on your Windows version, so that information can be provided on how to check to see if you need to turn off sharing.

    4. What type of firewall do you use? Do you use the standard Windows firewall? Again, it will help to know which OS you use if so.

    5. Do you have evidence of tampering, for example, with your files? Have files been altered, deleted, or moved? If so pass on a couple of the most dramatic instances.

    Ran across a story not too long ago of a girl who was being watched by someone. Somehow the individual got access to her camera and had full control of her PC. Really bad situation as she was forced to cancel all her credit cards, and, needless to say, her confidence with using her PC was completely shot...

    If it will help any, you can monitor which IP addresses are accessing your computer. There is a free program called Active Ports that will enable you to do this from your desktop. It's not security, but it is a step in the right direction. There is somewhat of a learning curve involved, but if you decide to add one, I will be happy to provide any insights I have on how to use the program...
