Hi,

Is it possible for someone to use an API to control all your computer on your network?

Remote admin packages are abound: teamviewer, logmein, VNC ...

where would I look on my files to find if there is a remote admin?
Most remote admin programs need to start up upon boot. Go download AutoRuns from MS SysInternals:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

It will show you almost all programs in the registry that start up automatically. I remember there is a right click choice to check a file against VirusTotal. Check for files that look familiar but spelt wrong, like 'svchosts' instead of 'svchost'

can you let me know if theres anything there or if you still need to see more.

Thanks for your help
It would be much easier to help you if you upload the file rather then post all the screenshots

1. Make sure Hide Microsoft Entries is Checked Under the Options Menu
2. After Scanning is Finished
3. Go to File then Save
4. Save as AutoRuns.am file or as Autoruns.txt to known location like your Desktop
5. Upload file to your next reply. You may have to compress the file to .zip before uploading if you use .am extension.
thanks dckeks,

i'll do that
this is what appears when I try and save it. I am the administrator.

That account unknown can be the result of you previously deleting an account. When you delete an account, the permissions for it remains embedded in files which that account used to be able to access.

Don't ask me to go thru the Autoruns screen shots for you. I just save a baseline and compare them.
Yes! You will either have to update the correct Permissions or you can try saving to desktop
