Firewall help needed desperately!!!!!!!!
Ok, here is the deal. I got home and had a nasty message on my answering machine. Apperantly I had spent the entire weekend trying to hack into somebodys computer. That would have been fine if I had been home or even knew how to hack. I am not sure if my computer had been compromised. I don't know how to tell. I am not sure how I got targeted or how the address was traced to me. I am running ZoneAlarm (newest version) that does not say I was hit but I have to run it at medium security to use ICQ and Outlook and I think that is what left me open.
Questions:
1. How do I keep this from happening?
2. If someone used my address what can I do, cable company wont release my address?
3. How do I find out if and when they were in my machine?
4. How can I get around Outlook and ICQ not working?
Thanks in advance!!
