Are you even sure that law is real? I mean, iCarly's just a TV show. The law might be fictional, you know.
Hmm.. you do make a good point. But wouldn't you think it's against the law to hack?

Ya, IT is

Get a decent antivirus like Sophos. If you're not willing to fork out the cash, just expect your computer to be shit all the time.

I haven't gotten an infection since I started using Sandboxie, which isn't even an anti virus.

If you get a lot of spyware and viruses then you should seriously look into it. Sandboxie opens programs in a quarantined environment, like a sandbox, so that if you succumb to an attack your computer is not infected. So you're free to visit the most malicious websites you would ever want to, as long as you open your web browser with Sandboxie.

I don't even have any porn. Oh wait, I had a few hentai pics a couple of days before the attacks. I've deleted them.

I dunno. I don't trust this sort of programs. That's why I'm skeptical.

Just get AVG, it's free and it's one of the best ones out there. Once you get it, there's no need for any other antivirus as they only make your PC go slower.

Cause it's always a great idea to ping the person who's trying to break into your computer.

In any case they aren't hackers. They're computers/servers that your computer is trying to contact per instruction of the spyware.

Download HijackThis! (it's free) and provide us the log file.

My PC's speed has dramatically increased! I don't know why. Btw, Norton found a Trojan Horse.

And if you still don't get it,

Effects on performance

The software is typically regarded as making considerable demands on resources. In common with other Norton products, Norton AntiVirus relies on Internet Explorer's web interface, instead of using the standard GUI libraries. Besides using more resources, any problems, security flaws, or changes to Internet Explorer will be reflected in Norton products, commonly resulting in "Script Error" messages when the user opens or uses a Norton program.

This is the link to the latest HijackThis. It is not an anti-virus. It just reads your system registry and picks out everything that's not standard. Of the things that are not standard, you'll probably find a handful of malicious registry keys - or I will assuming you post the log file.

No. It's just that I don't want you to see what's in my hard drive.

And no, it's not porn.

I personally don't like Norton, for the sole reason that every time I get a virus on my computer, it doesn't even notice until after I do. I switched to Trend Micro, and that blocks incoming viruses and spyware along with notifying you of possible dangers. It's a great thing to have,

Lol I've got Norton Antivirus and Spyware Docter. They seem to work great together. Since I've got them any virus, spyware, or anything malicious has infected my pc! Every threat gets detected and blocked! So yeah I highly recommend both.

Every time I try using IE7, my PC is attacked! Luckily, Norton Antivirus has been able to block those attacks. My Mozilla Firefox browser lagged at first, but now, it works quite well.

I've scanned the entire system using McAfee, Norton, and AVG. AVG was able to find a file called Backdoor.VB.

I was able to trace the attacker's IP. Thanks to that, I know his country, his latitude, his longitude and his ISP.

unfortunately that information may be useless as most virses are sent to you by accident (by someone who already got it obviously)

there is no way to know if he is the creator, or a victim. if you knew for sure he was the creator, then go kick his ass personally
