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

I have.Â Late September 2015 I took my desktop to one repair shop (NEVER GEEK SQUAD) and took my laptop and flashdrive with Linux on it to a different repair shop.Â I was asked by both repairmen if someone had a vendetta against me because they had never seen anything like it.Â Both HDDs were partitioned. I had to have brand new HDD replacement on both computers.Â As for the flashdrive the repairman told me he saw nothing out of the ordinary.Â I don't want to do anything to them now because I need someone who knows what they're looking at to see things for themselves.

Try to check if your computers have a virus or sth else, there is no other explanation of what is happening in your house. If I was you, I would do a full backup and then format all of my computers..

Â Neither my child nor myself installed VirtualBox on the desktop.Â I also have an Acer laptop that runs Linux Mint Mate and a Lenovo that runs Windows 10.Â 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.Â Yet my folders and files tell me otherwise.Â 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,
