Re: POSSIBLE HACK...PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!

Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1)?

What do you mean by "both firewalls"? You should only have one (1) firewall enabled at a time, Annie.

Three days ago, I had RoadRunner (cable internet connection) hooked up. The
tech turned off both my firewalls and DIDN'T tell me! (Shame on me for not
checking) Just a few minutes ago, while I was surfing, all my programs
opened up, one by one.

Was my computer hacked and did someone get all my personal information?!
I'm running my virus program right now. What else should I do? Please
help. I'm a nervous wreck right now!

Thanks,

Annie
