I have a friend who knows a huge amount about computers, spyware, hacking, all of that stuff. They told me they could help me with my internet one day when I was struggling and I said yes because they're so good at all of that stuff.They installed some Realtek stuff on my laptop and gave me an antenna to pick up the wifi better.A little while later and I've been suspecting that they're spying on me. I think I'm just paranoid but today I found something installed called 'Realtek PCIE Card Reader'.It didn't come with my laptop, and from what I've googled I can tell it reads card information and I think it can be run in the background constantly by a third party?I'm really not sure but is this a way somebody could see my photographs etc. from their own computer?any help at all would be great
It's exactly what the name impliesa card reader based on a Realtek chip device. It should be physically located on your netbook and usually reads SD and SDHC cards, as well as a few other card formats. has nothing to do with spying or hacking Sam only way they would be able to do that is if they installed a keylogger (spying program or were to remote into your computer turn it off To disable Remote Desktop 1. Click System in Control Panel. 2. On the Remote tab, clear the Allow users to connect remotely to your computer check box, and then click OK.
