Without more specific information I can only offer the following advice.

Get Anti-Virus, get a firewall, or reformat and change your IP.

I wouldn't know, I'm not adpet at that kind of stuff.

One way could be they got your IP from it and then used that to find an opening in your ports. I would also be inclined to believe that just changing your IP may not stop it. You may well have to isolate the virus and get rid of it or reformat and get rid of everything.

most of these people r very skilled in wat they do, so he got your msn and traced it back to ur computer,while your talking he checked out ur computer for a back door and there was and installed the virus. therefore he can acess ur computer and delet or even take credit card numbers if u online bank and also that stuff.

if i were u i would get a new internet provider and dump ur 1 right if u don't like it, but if u really r scared.

question do u know the email address cause if u do u can get the internet provider to trace it back to where it comes from.

or if ur really scared shit less then just get a new computer or delet the hard drive and and reinstall the operating system.

get back to me or rabit.

Unless you allow them access it's not from what I know. Do you have remote assistance turned on?
