I am in need of serious help here. I have a Dell Inspiron 3521, 15 Laptop, in a home setting, connected via wireless network on a SHARED router throughout the house. (Meaning two cell phones, Xbox, a desktop and mine). Now. I did nice, fresh, clean install of Win 8.1 Pro about a month ago. All was great, fresh, no weird folders, connections, etc. ... However, a day or so later I was getting remote connections (unauthorized).
*remote settings not on. All un-ticked and set correctly.
First I decided to go with a Microsoft Acct, simply because I didn't know all I know now.
Two days ago, I downloaded Norton360, disabled Windows Firewall (as for some reason my firewall settings kept being changed and not by me). Then I found out how to create own local acct, etcetera. I did that. Norton was doing a good job of notifying me of my intruder, but they were somehow able to change my firewall settings in Norton and I kept going in, resetting it.
Now, last night I was going through Device Manager, and showed hidden devices. I had three or four monitors, Apple mobile device, four network adapters & more. I was angry and uninstalled and disabled them. I re-boot, had black screen, only cursor.
I went into my BIOS, and as I'm checking things out I notice my AHCI only has SATA or ATA ... (My suspected intruder just happened to be close by, saw what I saw, jumped on the desktop, and all of a sudden wanted to change router settings, was asking if I had a blank cd to back up router, then inserted a cd, did 'something', and all of a sudden my computer jumped out of black screen and began to self-repair.
What is going on here?
My BIOS opens and has:
Virtual Machine Monitor <enabled>
Integrated NIC <enabled>
SATA operation <AHCI>
This is where I stopped. I had only two options, AHCI and ATA, but F1 help function listed four options including RAID.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what the correct settings are for the InsydeH2O Utility, explain why it's different, and have any suggestions?
Thanks any!!
