Hacked My Computer Through IP?

-

yesterday friend of mine showed me how access have done in computer websites have visited, pictures, links, ims, pretty in computer. thing didn't hack computer (i have done restore in computer 5 days ago , accessed data august 1st), has never come house before. signed 1 of spy softwares (it not downloaded computer)... anyways, how can block people checking personal information? thought macs safer windows machines. not sure if did through ip...does know website offers service? isn't illegal? main concern blocking people accessing personal information , pages have visited....

highly appreciated.:confused::confused:
 

we have no way of knowing whether telling truth or not.

if have remote access turned on, correct password can access machine. go system preferences: sharing , uncheck of options there.

go system preferences: sharing: firewall , turn on

also, if use router or gateway, change administrative password on other factory default (check router's manual)

, remember: if has physical access machine while logged in security bets off. can see want. download usb key, etc. if guess password, can install programs. if have access boot cd/dvd, can change password , install software
