There are a few things you can do to discourage and fend off these worthless scum.
Invest in a good firewall.Its the single most important thing you can do to protect your important information.
Use a strong password,incorporating upper and lowercase letters,numbers,symbols and alts.
Try to stay away from the places that got you hacked.

What do you mean "hacked"? I don't get any interruptions in chat or messenger. I think you had better run a virus scan if you have McAfee or Norton.

1. Be sure your computer don't have keyloggers
2. Be sure your computer don't have trojans
if you are not sure, then format your computer
3. Use firewall
if you are in a LAN (workgroup) there's no way to be safe if you are not using an encriptation communication. Like SSL, SSL Tunnels.

You can't.
That's the short answer.
There is no long answer.
