You can say that again. [Force_Fed]
You need two things, a strong firewall and antivirus protection. Both of those combined will help your computer from being hacked into. Also password protect your files. I hope this helps! [freebiegalora]
Thank you for sharing that information. I have a strong firewall and antivirus program but didn't know about password protecting my files. [kgwat70]
ok listen dude...ill tell u what u need to do...open the cabinet of your computer...take a powerful bar magnet or any other magnet...rub it over ur hard disk...anddddddd ur done with damaging ur pc to an extent where no1 can hack it !!! [shivy1989]
A magnet might not do the job comepletely. Bits of data may still survive which can be extracted by a crafty cracker. So after that's done you should remove the hard drive and drive one of those big pavement rollers over it. Put the pieces in a wood chipper, then soak the sulferic acid. After that is done burn it. The ashes should then be taken to a remote part of the world for burial. Then you're safe. Get an abacus, pen, and notebook and start over. Force [Force_Fed]

You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html [pcwork]
First, Unplug cable/wire that connects you to the Net. Run Ad-aware or available malware scanner/remover in your pc. then run antivirus program. See to it that these programs are up-to-date and are active at all times. Use portscanners to check ports (http, ftp) that are open and enable only important ones custom to your needs. Also, enable firewall if you have {latest windows OS has it). For safeguard, don't just allow anybody to use your pc. [RAMPersona]
Try to use a firewall and make your drives NTFS than FAT or FAT32. That will prevent network access. Also update your windows OS with latest Malicious Tool Removal softwares [SamuraiKid]
use windows firewall and use ewido spyware protection [akshaymardia]

I agree with freebiegalora. Avg anti virus is good enough .The firewall I have been using is ZoneAlarm(www.zonelabs.com) which is definitely a good choice. By the way how did u get know ur machine was hacked?This would help pinning down the problem .. [TheApparition]

Ok so someone is trying to hack into your computer... heres a failsafe way to seriously secure your computer. For this you need an old computer say an IBM 486. goto www.smoothwall.org and download the software... what is smoothwall ? well its a gnu open source linux distro Linux is the ideal choice for security systems; it is well proven, secure, highly configurable and freely available as open source code. SmoothWall includes a hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system, so there is no separate OS to install. Designed for ease of use, SmoothWall is configured via a web-based GUI, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use. As there is no need to install a seperate operating system there is less chance of instability. now on your IBM 486 you need several network cards to create your whole network, depending on how many computers you have running in your house you need 1 network card connected directly to the modem/router and the other network cards connected to each computer. heres the pdf file for installation which is pretty easy http://downloads.smoothwall.org/pdf/2.0/quickstart.pdf now that you have your hardware firewall up and running, use the following programs, avg antivirus, spybot search & Destroy and also lavasoft adaware. all these will help secure your computer to no avail. [kstanley7]
Well there are number of ways. If you are using Windows box which i believe you are using coz if u were on linux u wdnt have asked this thing first of all. So download a copy of zone alarm and set the firewall rules. If you using broadband then ask ur IP to put you on PPPOE rather than bridging. If you using cable then firewall is a way out. Download a copy of network and check out which is the unwanted traffic and block it using firewall. If you on Linux then there is an inbuilt firewall. Or tell me i will mail you my custom made code that will help you out.... Adios & gud luck [20021985]
I think Comodo Personal Firewall 2.0 brings excitement back to the free-firewall category with a spiffy interface and impressive performance. It protects any Windows 2000 or XP SP2 system from hack attacks, and it blocks unauthorized programs from using the Internet—even programs whose malware-style trickery fooled the other free firewalls. Comodo Personal Firewall 2.0 installs inside the Comodo Launch Pad, a control center that pulls together various free and free-trial products from Comodo. Among the free offerings are Comodo Antispam (a challenge/response-based spam blocker), Comodo BackUp (a traditional file-based backup utility), and VerificationEngine (an antiphishing browser add-in). You may want to give these a whirl; to date, I've tested only the firewall. As soon as I started installing Comodo Personal Firewall, it noted the presence of an existing firewall (the ZoneAlarm free edition) and asked me to remove it. That's smart, because two firewalls running at once are liable to get into a fight. A free code obtained from Comodo's Web site activated my installation for a lifetime subscription. The Windows XP SP2 Security Center recognized Comodo Personal Firewall as my system's new firewall protection and started tracking its status. Comodo successfully put my test-bed system's ports into stealth mode. They weren't just closed to hackers' manipulation; they were completely invisible from outside. I confirmed this with the ShieldsUP! test from Gibson Research (www.grc.com) and several other Web-based port scan tests. Of course, all the other free firewalls do this too, even the built-in Windows Firewall. Like any new personal firewall installation, Comodo initially bombarded me with pop-up warnings about programs accessing the Internet. It even warned about some of its own modules! In general, however, its pop-ups are smarter than most. They identify over 7,000 known programs as safe (a feature found in the Pro version of ZoneAlarm but not in the free edition), and multiple related pop-ups are automatically combined. Rather than wait for Comodo to notice each application's first attempt at Internet access, I told it to scan the system for known applications and authorize them. That cut down the number of pop-ups dramatically—a nice feature. Happy mylotting all.... God bless you..^^....... [joserinfans]
