My system is running slow again. I had some stalker/jerk from Japan hack my e-mails. I bought a new computer when I moved back to Canada but my system is running slow again and I have three fire walls and all kinds of anti spyware.

I scanned my computer awhile ago and no hackers. Seems like everyone is have a problem. I have been trying all morning to get into my email with no luck. I just now got on Answers.
Hope they fix it soon.
Mine is working now. Try yours.

First of all, there are many ways to hack an e-mail, and possible defenses against it depend only on what e-mail service you're using. Since you didn't provided that information, I can't help you on that point.
About the slow system, you probably are using a Windows, so there are a few things you can do:
- Erase *.tmp , *.chk and *.bak files, which aren't necessary;
- Uninstall programs you no longer use;
- Desfragment your hard drive.
Then, apart from this, there are some things you should do.
First, install "Spyware Doctor" and "Ad-aware Personal version", update their definitions and scan your system, removing all problems they may find;
Second, install an anti-virus. In case you don't want to buy one, you could try "Avast Anti-virus". Update its definitons, scan your system, and that's ok.
Third, you DON'T need 3 firewalls, you just need a properly configurated one.

The only way for a person to hack your email is to crack your yahoo password. YOU can stop this by creating a password something like this @$#%^*()dusty#$%^%$^% as an example you can also add a space in the password and makes it hard to crack.
Also, watch what links you click on and dont put your name and password into nothing. Unless you know its a safe link.
