Question

Windows 8.1 Access

Mar 19, 2015 4:00AM PDT

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3000 with Windows 8.1.

I have disabled Remote everything except Procedure Call in Services.

I am unable or don't know how to deny all incoming connections in the firewall.

The reason for my actions is files are disappearing before my eyes on my USB drive or are being made read access only.

I want to stop this. How do I do it?
