Hey there,
This situation sounds really weird. Could you try running sudo cat /var/lib/tor/fingerprint on one of your Tor-machines? Then we can determine whether you are really running an exit relay.
As Arjen stated before, you can probably remove the Tor package with sudo apt-get install tor
Best regards, KRutt

There is NO ONE else in this house that uses my computers other than my 13 year old daughter who plays Minecraft on hers. I have one Dell desktop that runs Linux Mint Rosa, however, sometimes when I turn it on a black screen appears with a message stating "VirtualBox restarting." Neither my child nor myself installed VirtualBox on the desktop. I also have an Acer laptop that runs Linux Mint Mate and a Lenovo that runs Windows 10. 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. Yet my folders and files tell me otherwise. 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, KRutt

According to files and folders I have on two separate computers in my house, I am running a Tor exit but I absolutely have nothing to do with it. I am only able to physically view certain files ie; var/log/tor, etc/tor/torrc, while other files like var/lib/tor/lock the content is invisible. I am MORE than willing to talk to anyone who may be able to help.
