computer compromised

Hi, I have reason to believe that someone has remote access to my computer. Is there a place that my computer would keep a log of this to let me know exactly who it is, where they are getting in and when my computer has been remotely accessed. I want to be able to verify that this is indeed happening and put a stop to this. My questions for you are: How do I stop someone from remotely accessing my computer? And how do I remove or protect my computer from this happening again? Thank you, Frusterated Here are my logs: .

Ok I will put Malwarebytes back on my computer. I had problems with it before as it would not give me update, but an error and then shut down on me. I shall try again. I already have winpatrol on my computer.

Thank you for all of your time and help.
