[Mods read before deleating, I know that talking about hacking is against forum rules BUT i need help and im not trying to find out how to hack, but i have been hacked

I came on msn and talked to this guy you know friend of a friend and he sniffed my ip, my firewall blocked his connections but he keeps connecting to me, on msn he showed his results and found that i have 2 security holes, If he knows how to exploit those he could be in my computer watching me type right now...
Everytime i connect to the net the firewall shows its blocked his i.p adress, Hes watching my computer.

Help!!!!! I need to do somthing about this, i do have his ip's.

If any of this is against forum rules edit it so as it still means the same thing but just not in that way because i need support from you guys the only other place i can post is bit.tech but he posts there and everyone on my msn who knows anything is friends with him.

Update your OS..block his IP in your firewall.

His IP is probably dynamic, since he said "I have his IPs"

Run windows update on your pc, and install all the critical updates, if your firewall is blocking the IPs he is probably just trying to scare you.

Uninstall Windows and install this:

=P

Nah, really, one, he couldnt know your IP unless if there has been a webcam/audio conv or file transfer, which was active. There is no other way. If this isn't the case then he's bluffing. Also, you most likely have a Dynamic IP as well (unless if you pay huge amounts of money to get a static IP, only companies have it). Which means, by the next day the IP he has of you is probably invalid, as yours will have changed, and he'll need to find it again. (Through the ways I previously said, unless if he has other means of connecting to you, like, I dno, ICQ? P2P software where you have him added?).
For the rest, yes, update your windows, stop using lame, unsecure software which invites hackers, like, Internet Explorer (get opera for free here or get mozilla firefox). And just be careful on what files you accept from people, and whether you are sure you can trust the people (and know that they are who you think they are). Etc..

Basically, don't be a retard, and you're safe.

(And as we all know, being a retard includes trusting Microsoft software).

there are several options you could do

1: well if you are behind a router or firewall you could search for a nother ip adress
2: call your provider and ask them to track him and follow him a few days what his activity's are arround your comp
3: and if he does trying to brake in your comp say to your provider to block all of his adresses to your comp

1: Err.. No =/
2: Uhm.. Nope
3: Hmm.. No.

=)

And do a virus scan, you could have a trojan.

How does Internet Explorer invite hackers? Sorry, but that's not correct, it may have some vulnerabilities, but it's not like that. I personally prefer Firefox though.

For one, worms scan for vulnorabilities, webservers can find your IP & User Agent, therefore, know whether you have IE, and when you do, know who to attack. Or just automatically install trojans which are then easily picked up by scanners.
Or just ad/spyware, which are, technically, you being hacked as well.

There's a very clear diffrence between not trusting something, and not using it lopardo, it's not because I do not trust Microsoft Windows, that I need to not use it at all. The fact that I don't trust Microsoft products, means that I will take precausions to protect myself against their possible failure, and take steps to easily recover when they do.
Btw, I didn't say that others are all good, I said that Microsoft products aren't to be trusted (generally), meaning, exactly what the sentence says, that they may fail you where you would expect them not to. (Like after you just installed all security patches available...).

What pages are you browsing? If you don't go to any "weird" pages, nothing will happen...

Have you ever suffered a serious attack? You're too paranoid
OK, so you don't trust MS products stability, but you shouldn't say something like "And as we all know, being a retard includes trusting Microsoft software", you'll scare newbies (not to mention the misuse of "retard").

* WDZ agrees with that as well.

I've been using Windows for years, I know it well, and I've never been infected with a virus/trojan or been hacked. Windows is a very good OS, and I trust it. It has never done anything serious enough to break that trust. I resent being called a retard for that.
