It is useful to find out what you did wrong to prevent being hacked again,
but ultimately you may want to format and reinstall Windows as an easier and
quicker and more secure solution. Not having a firewall, anti-virus and/or
Microsoft patches are the first suspects. I would be using a firewall like
www.sygate.com or www.kerio.com or www.zonealarm.com or sniffer like
Ethereal to watch network traffic to see where and how this is coming in.
Be sure you know how to fully secure the system afterwards or else
formatting is a waste of time.

Looks like hacker has a script running to change all my settings after I
logon. How can I tell what is being loaded and in what order
