Security - July 2006

I need to know what I can do to prevent people from gaining information about my computer, such as where I am located, my I.P address etc. Someone has been harassing me and though I have moved several times (different states even) they always know where I live based on something they did to bring up info on my computer. How do I prevent this, as I dont want anyone knowing where I live etc..

There is a lock at the bottom of the page when I get this address. Sometimes I get a warning that says you will leave a secure sight? And it will say that my browser setting won't let me go to the new URL. Is this phishing? Is there always a lock at the bottom of my yahoo mail? It this truely Yahoo (http://us.f540.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?rand=5ogh1f5k1v5ue)? and no lock appears here.

when i get on the internet with my "emergency" computer, it says windows has 55 problems or whatever, can't remember the exact terms.. but, i have never been on the internet with it and have had it for several months, when i get on the internet with it, a warning keeps popping up saying to go to regfix.com and then after i went there, it wasn't an official microsoft site, and in the fine print it says it will search my computer for errors and then if i want the sight to fix it, i have to buy the software that fixes it... and i keep getting different pop up warnings saying this and that about 55 errors and it could cause system failure if i don't do something about it.. at the top it reads... To and From, but not saying who to and who from in the greeting of the warnings.... is this just crap or is it for real... what should i do to make sure it is safe to use and won't crash.... it is running windows xp professional.. is there some program on the computer to check it out for errors?

I downloaded Counterspy to rid my computer of Trojans and downloaded TrojanHunter just to make sure the trojans were gone, both programs were very good; but both failed to remove the following:

Registry scan
Suspicious registry entry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Microsoft Works Update Detection (Regedit Jump)
Registry value exists: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\.nvsvc (matches Agent.200) (Regedit Jump)
Inifile scan
No suspicious entries found
Port scan
No suspicious open ports found
Memory scan
No trojans found in memory
File scan (autostarted files, running executables)
No trojan files found

In simple terms please - What is Regedit Jump & How do I solve my problem.

my daughter was on our computer and i came in the room to talk to her. well, the curser on the screen was moving and clicking things and my daughter was NOT touching the mouse. i asked her what is happening and she told me that her friend (in another state) is doing something in our computer. i was so freaked out cause i have never seen that and wondered how this person was able to do this without my permission.


how is this possible? how did this person get into our computer? is this what "hacking" is? how do i know if this is still happening?
