man in the middle

4 firwalls/antivirus products in one month. I've come the the conclusion that
there is no security on the internet beyond unplugging your machines
permanently. I reformated 3 computors 5 times, reinstalled the windows xp
sp2 and updated, and even went so far as to change the mac addresses on the
network cards. Within days windows system security settings,and product
firewalls would change and it would be downhill from there,not counting the
money spent.

In conclusion I've had to cancel my personal isp and email account,what was
happening was that I would get these trial versions of security software both
downloaded and cds, like them, buy them using https and then they would send
me email confirmation and a link to download the full versions.

Someone had cracked my email and was sending me to spoofed websites. It
didn't matter how often I would reformat and reinstal the os after I found
this out and NOT use the email.

My question is how is this possible that this hacker could still track me?
