yeah use a firewall, then do a scan for viruses and spyware. then pop along to www.grc.com and there you can test your security etc and see any open ports. Follow this by logging on to your routers home page and disable your ssid an set the network up to use a mac address in certain range and filter them out. change the wep key on the filewall along with maybe a higher encryption. And as well as that make sure you have applied all the latest updates. This should make your system more secure but also a stern warning telling hem what they are doing is illegal and if they dont stop you will report them should do the trick.

Install a router with a built-in firewall and change your usernames and passwords, alpha-numerically afterwords. Virtual Lab Systems recommends Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus software like the titles listed on our site.

hi, perhaps you can try norton to remove the virus and protect your PC, but you need to pay for the software.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:
