If anyone can please give me some insight about some computer issues,
I would appreciate it.

Since I've had my used computer for about 2 years, I've had my privacy
violated to the extreme. All of my email accounts - Hotmail, Yahoo,
my Outlook, my personal files have been tampered with. The sites
where I frequent, some sock puppet apparently take personal info from
personal emails and post them in their messages. I receive offensive
purported porno 'opt-in' emails that I did not subscribe to - even
within a few hours of creating a brand new email account. I also get
taunted by a psycho cyberstalker who puts her name in the 'subject' or
email address of porno junkmail to make it appear to be unsolicited
spam.

I frequently get these prompts "...computer shut down by the remote
computer," "Password or access denied by the remote computer" or if
I'm using a program I'll get kicked out accompanied by the message
that says something to the effect of it "being used by 'another
user'."

What can I do about all of this? I have 3 suspicions as to who is
behind this crap and all have their motives, but I would like to know
what are the legal ramifications?
