Title: My computer was controlled!!! Help!!
Post by: temlin on January 20, 2005, 01:50:54 AM

Need some urgent help as I found my computer
seemed to be controlled by some others. It’s
so awful.
What shall I do? Thanks!

If you're saying that you've been hacked,
then naturally you need to do a virus scan
and use a good spyware app like AdAware, or
Spybot Search & Destroy. Also, you need to
make sure your virus defintions are up to
date and then disconnect from the internet.
Or, are you saying that someone is able to
control your X-10 components?

Getting a firewall is a good way, do you
have one? I can recommend one which is
helpful to you. You can enter the IP address
of that computer into Banned Sites List.
That computer will be blocked. You can
download it from http://www.armor2net.com.
