    Can I go to the police if my computer is hacked?

    Change your IP address, restore your computer and up the settings on your firewall.
    Check with your ISP if they can trace the IP of the hacker.
    If they can then maybe the police can do something.
    Otherwise no.

    ISPs dont log incoming connections, you'd have to extract the logs from the PC in question. Even if you did and you find some contact centre in India, whatchagonnado?

    Have somebody look at it for you OP, until then leave it OFF.

    What makes you think someone has remote access?
