Thanks Joe,

I talked to a buddy of mine today and he said that it probably happend because I don't have any firewall set up. I moved a couple months ago and until then was using dial-up. Now I have DSL, so apparantly I've let my door wide open to anyone wishing to hack into my system.

The most disconserting thing is wondering if they've been doing any illegal stuff on the internet while using MY name. I suppose if the FBI or police come knocking at my door, I'll know.

He gave me this advice:

1) Make sure that my anti-virus protection is up to speed

2) Go to Winshampoo

3) Do a complete check on the hardrive

Hopefully I'll be out of the woods on this thing soon!
