so i recently did a full recovery on my laptop to delete everything and reinstall windows 8 on march 4th during the day. i had to go through the initial setup So i figured i would do that after the weekend. so i shut down my laptop and left it in my room with the doors locked. i come home march 7th around 7pm to go through the setup. i thought my laptop was hacked before which is why i did the reinstall. so after making my admin and user account and messing with some settings i decide to check the event log. on the log it shows a bunch of activity with requests for bluetooth passwords, user accounts privileges & changes, special logons, etc. the blocks of time when it starts & ends, always end with an event for the laptop set to sleep. theres also 4 events that show up as 2015 for some reason not sure how that happened but the events show computer name to be TC-W. can someone view my saved event log to verify this? and if so what im suppose to do cause i was running bitdefender before & that didnt seem to help. it seem both my laptops and my store cctv system seems to have been hacked.
Hacked?? Full recovery but acitivty on event log w/PICS

Solution
i went to update and recovery and selected the "delete everything & reinstall windows" option. by clean install, do yo mean formatting the hdd and installing with windows cd? my laptop didnt come with a cd.
and im positive i didnt name my laptop tc-w. it was named dinomite. i never got a chance to go through the setup after i reinstalled windows so i never named my laptop anyting until after the weekend which was dmz. and it doesnt explain how event viewer is showing all these events over the weekend while i was gone and my laptop was turned off.

1) That sounds like you have not clean installed, so it's quite possible that the old name was TC-W at some time and just carried over when you reverted.
2) As for the events showing up, you have one of two main possibilities:
a) Your clock is wrong
b) You didn't actually turn it off, simply put it to sleep
3) A third, but rare, possibility is that you have another computer on your network that is transmitting logs.
