If you'd like someone to challenge your knowledge, I'll gladly do so.
Just a couple of quick examples

Your VPN "information" is all wrong...the existence of a VPN adapter does
NOT imply a system has been hacked. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network,
setting up encrypted communications between two locations (e.g. a remote
user's PC and hs/her office network). The VPN adapter is a virtual network
adapter that binds to a VPN client and creates the communication pathway to
it's partner location. A VPN adapter would be set up to ensure secure
communications, NOT to hack into someone's system.

You often indicate that AOL adapters are a sign of hacking. AOL adapters are
installed as part of the AOL client installation. I have yet to see or hear
of an attacker installing the AOL client onto a target machine. If you have
any specific, independently documented (by a recognized authoritative
source) cases, please provide such documentation.

I do not ascribe any improper motives on your part. However, your knowledge
*is* extremely limited and virtually every bit of advice I've seen you post
has been technically inaccurate at best, and generally has been destructive
for anyone who would accept it. If you truly desire to help others with
security problems, please get some formal training both in the platforms you
want to support (e.g. Windows) *and* in security (e.g. CISSP as a start).
