Ok fingers crossed I have posted this in the correct location, my pcs have been broadcasting everything I have been doing even when I do a fresh install and delete everything or format it it still keeps on broadcasting, I have even tried putting in a new hard drive but that did not work either. I have disabled the wireless on my Internet and that has not fixed it. I have even caught a foreign MAC address on the network log. Have tried norton 360 didn't help either . Someone put a modified desktop registry in remote assistance after doing a fresh install on my laptop that was not even connected to the Internet and the only way I stopped it was by blocking the firewall of everything altogether but then I can't use it. I don't know what else to do to solve this problem. Someone has even witnessed this happening too can anyone help me please?
I am using 2 laptops and 1 gaming desktop running windows7 home premium

I think you've given us far too few details to help you there.

By broadcasting you mean what? A keylogger, a webcam (which would imply drivers too) or something?

Which of your PCs is broadcasting? All of them?

The only way a virus etc. can survive a format is if its a bootsector virus and when re-installing you didn't wipe the bootsectors (i.e. you should do a full format), or if (and this is almost theoretical) the virus has attached itself to the BIOS.
 
basically people can see what i am doing on my screen, but also what about the registry being changed without being connected to any network, also what other information would you require to help me with this further please?
Would reflashing the bios help or is that a new motherboard time?
 
Says who?

For this to happen after a fresh format and install would point me to a dodgy version of windows!

Also if you have disabled/disconnected all network adapters there is no way for anyone to access your computer! It is physically impossible for anyone to be connected to you!

Close your curtains.

Seriously who is telling you this, how are exactly are they saying they see it, what proof have they given you? Also who did this "clean" install for you and who did you let into your registry over remote connection?

they still managed to change the remote assistance registry plus how would he know my pc was on unless he could see my pc had been turned on by broadcasting to them, laptops dont run modified desktop remote assistance registries and i didnt put it there or do they lol???? they are all genuine versions, the one on the laptop in question was actually bought from overclockers themselves so that cant be the problem can it?

Its a very weird and unusual problem but whoever has done this really knows what they are doing, it went quiet and i was at work when i did a fresh install and completely deleted everything on the hard drive doing a custom install and i just figured they were up to something and blocked the firewall and then found that.

i have not let anyone in through remote connection everything is all set as default apart from remote access i have changed the allow your computer to be controlled remotely and allow remote assistance to both un ticked boxes
i did the clean install by following guidelines from the seven forums
 
So what's your proof?

If what you say is correct, such as you've done a clean install on a new hard disk, it sounds like a wind-up, just not sure if you're trying to wind us up, or you're being wound up by someone else.

There are any number of ways to tell a PC is on though. For instance
  • they could have access to router (if they were able to set it up to take remote IPs)
  • some piece of software could indeed be telling them your PC's on (Skype does this by default AFAIK for people you know)
  • maybe they are physically close enough to see your room

It all sounds rather strange, but I think after a dozen posts from you we might get the kind of info you probably should have given to begin with...

Nobody will ever admit to this at it is illegal plus people are nosey and inquisitive and would not mind viewing other people's computers for the fun of it plus when I do go onto my wifi password to change it they can see that too and gain access to my Internet and I proved that to my girlfriends uncle who too also found this very hard to believe but shown him that when they see the page with the access key they could then start using it again as I was using the virgin router as a modem for a tp link router and the only way you could get the code for the virgin router was on the back of it or by actually seeing what I was viewing and when my girlfriends uncle went on to the Internet password page to show them the code after 10 minutes I then disabled the wifi to get a reaction and it did. The only way you would ever had believe this is if you were there at the time which is true other than telling the truth what more can I do as this is a genuine call for help from someone being attacked who has knowledge of which they should not be using as they are and to do so is 100% illegal but it's just proving it, like I have said I have found a foreign mac code using my Internet for even further proof all I need is further evidence to **** em up good and proper.

You either have some very twisted views of what is real and what's not or you smoke way to much of the green herb!

You've still not articulated your problem well, and a lot of it doesn't add up.

You've not shown any evidence that someone is monitoring your actual PC and I doubt that's the case if you've clean installed it. It sounds more like you've an open/compromised WiFi and someone has been able to mess with your router settings. Take it offline, change the security settings/IDs/passwords, allow only known MACs.
 
Do you take any medication for a paranoid related illness? (Don't mean that in a nasty way)

I just cannot see, anywhere, from what you have put any form of evidence to suggest your system has been compromised.

Have they deleted files? Have they opened and deleted emails? Have they installed anything? Have you seen the mouse cursor move around by itself remotely?

What is it they have done exactly?

Disable your SSID in the router setup, change the password once a week, change the security type.

I can assure you the wifi is turned off and administrative tasks can only be performed by my LAN desktop mac address and remote management through port 80 or 8080 is disabled

I did notice though when I downloaded Microsoft network monitor that igmp was running along with ipv6 multicast could this be ways of viewing what I am doing? These are on by default though for windows firewall

Sorry can't help then.

I don't know how someone would be able to install software to remotely access your PC when it was clean installed and not connected to the network at the time.
