Re: Hacked again???

You say again, this has happened befor?

Anyway, what kind of internet connection dose the computer have? Is it a direct 
connection (like a USB ADSL device or USB cable modem) or behind a router, 
gateway or Proxy?

If it has a direct connection then it is more probable that you "got hacked" as 
you put it how ever unlikly it is, it has to happen to some one. If it is 
behind a gateway, router or proxy id check the config to see if there is any 
supisuse port forwarding.

Other things to check include: Checking all windows startup lists (including 
the startup folder in the startmenu and the registry startup lists) I would 
recomend Spybot Search and Destroy for that. msconfig.exe is very bad at doing 
this, even thow that is what it was desighed to do, perhaps thats indicated by 
the letters MS in it's name ;). You should also check for new service, user 
acounts and look to see what files where created and modifed on the night of 
the aleged hack.

What processes where running when you went to bed?

And I'd like to say that kerio is good, but if i had the choice I would go with 
Zone Alarm Free, I user Zone Alarm Pro personaly. In saying that ZA Pro only 
has like 1 maybe 2 more featurs then ZA Free that I actualy use even thogh it 
has 10 or more featurs then ZA Free. Hope I helped :) (Sorry for bad spelling)
