I have a laptop.
Im pretty sure that iphone user some how using my laptop resources by accessing it in a mysterious way.
Probably it can be remote way, but I suspect it can be a security hole by drivers or devices

Im disabled all network drivers, MSconfig disabled most services ( im not sure if iphone user still can access my computer ).

My router is unplugged, so I dont think it is a case, cable is also unplugged. Laptop is not connected to any ethernet cables.



All I need my computer to use: eclipse-java with xampp ( apache+MySQL ). And isolated from anybody.

Extra note, when I turn off laptop or sleep, iphone user gets mad.

Hi programmer,

If everything is unplugged [router and any access to wi-fi] then there is no way anybody can access to your laptop.
How do you know they get mad?
Have you tried posting your question in Eight Forums?

Laptop uses windows7.

"How do you know they get mad?"
How I know? Once I turn off laptop, iphone user becomes moist( I mean he is very static, after it begins moving ), later he attempts to reconnect something, Im not sure what, but according to sound: it is ethernet cable or usb etc.

OR

Goes to toilet, locks up and sits inside it up to 2 hours, expecting everyone to think like "Im in the toilet, I dont use WiFi".

I assume from the above comment that he shares a flat/house with you?
If so, why do you not confront him on this [so he knows you know] and get it sorted once and for all?

I hope this helps!

If you have your own internet service (that is, you don't use something that your landlord provides to you), then you could turn wifi off and just use Ethernet. This would totally prevent your neighbor from using your service. That's what I would do were I in your situation.

If you are going to use wifi, you need to make sure you are using the maximum encryption available, that is WPA2. Here is some information about this:

Also, make sure that you have changed the router's admin password.

If your router has a PIN code, disable it.

Select good, hard-to-crack passwords for the wifi connection and for the router's admin password.

That's about all you need to do to make the wifi more secure. But the best security is to simply disable the wifi and use Ethernet cables.
