Can someone have remote access to your home computer?

Reason I am asking is because last night, we turned our computer on and the screen was at a 90 degree angle The configuration was changed so that we had to tilt our heads all the way to the right to fix it. It was the strangest thing. Neither my DH or I did it, and no one was over our house this weekend. I don't know..it's very very strange. We were able to reset it so it's normal now..but we have no idea how it happened.

I am not sure, but someone stole my friends cell phone information thru a computer while she was at an airport! She had her free minutes stolen, etc, and had to close out the phone #. Do not turn on your cell phone in an airport unless u really have to.

Yes, you can have remote access to a computer, but this is not setup by default you would need to enable and configure multiple parts of your home network.

I know that when my cat lays on our laptop, she always changes the orientation of the screen; maybe one of you did it accidentally, or have an animal that did it?

I'd run a virus and spyware scan, just in case to see what you get.
