    Sounds like you have been hijacked. Best that you shut down your entire system.

    Reinstall/Reformat your platform and use all new passwords.

    If you go into the Network Connections in the Control Panel and bring up the properties for your Local Network Connection and bring up the Internet Connection (TCP/IP) properties, you can set the connection to assign the IP address automatically (DHCP) or set it manually (Static) ensuring that the number is not in use should you choose the latter.

    somebody else is accessing your computer...if you have important documents I recommend you to change them to password protected anyways disconnect your internet 'cause that person will get rid of everything..even uninstall whatever that person wants...try to change your IP I do not know how 'cause I haven't done that before..and 'cause I do not have a network setup myself...
