Hi
I am using Windows 7 Home premium and today I was checking the Event viewer and looking at the log on information. The reason is that I turned on my computer and when I came back it was unlocked (i didn't remember unlocking it myself- just powering it up), any way I was looking at the log in information to see if my computer had been accessed remotely or something.
Anyway, there were quite a lot of log on 4624 and a few 4648 codes. Looking at the 4624 ones, there seems to be a variation in the log on type. I have seen type 2, 3 and 5. I have looked back randomly over the past few months and I am seeing the same thing, a mixture of 2,3 and 5. As far as I know, log in type 2 is when you log on physically at the computer by typing in the password on the computer. The others I don't understand, could these be people logging in remotely?
Also, I have been looking further back and I can see that around 10 months ago beside one of the logins (login 4624 type 3) beside workstation it says my girlfriends name. She sometimes uses my computer but there is only one profile on this computer (my one), why would it show up as her workstation when she doesn't have one on this computer. She also isn't very very good with computers so would have no idea how to do something like this.
I am a bit concerned as I also checked in Control Panel- Remote Settings and Allow Remote Assistance was ticked. I have never accessed that part of the system before so it couldn't have been me.Does this sound like a potential hack?
Please help to put my mind at ease.
