Re: [tor-relays] I'm Running A Tor Exit But Never Initiated It

There is NO ONE else in this house that uses my computers other than my 13 year old daughter who plays Minecraft on hers. I have one Dell desktop that runs Linux Mint Rosa, however, sometimes when I turn it on a black screen appears with a message stating "VirtualBox restarting."  Neither my child nor myself installed VirtualBox on the desktop. I also have an Acer laptop that runs Linux Mint Mate and a Lenovo that runs Windows 10. When I try to install the Tor browser on my Acer it tells me I already have it and it's running, however when I try to open it I'm told I don't have it. Yet my folders and files tell me otherwise. I have so much to get out that once again I'll apologize for my ADD responses.

Hey percy,

I can't image a single reason why Tor should be configured to run a
relay without the system admins knowledge. Are there any other useres
with root access at those machines?
You could issue "(sudo) ls -al" on that folder to find out when the Tor
configs were created. Are there any other settings set in your torrc?

I'm not quite sure but this could be a "good" crypto locker too.

Best regards,
