Ok, about 2wks ok, I chatted with this guy on yahoo games. Then all of a sudden he leaves the room. So i wonder what exactly happens, but I totally dismiss it. Then they next day my browser is set to the homepage theuptodatesafety.com and a bunch of little warning pop up at the bottom right of my screen. So, I talk to my uncle who is a techie, so my problem is fixed, but I have some doubts about my computer, and I believe that is being hacker or I am somehow being stalked. Could someone please give some tell tale signs of how i can determine if my computer is hacked. I really feel strange about this guy be he is also on my messenger list. He is also very guarded about his past, and never really says anything about himself or his name . Am I being too paranoid, or is this normal. Btw, when the guy left out of the chatroom, I assumed he just left by accident. Please help!!!

Are you using Internet Explorer? Are you using Windows XP? If so, you are probably running as Administrator. Bad move. When going on the Internet as Administrator you allow spyware to install on your computer. Running as a limited user will prevent this in most cases in the future. Have you got any anti-virus/spyware programs? Avast, Spybot, and Adaware are free and readily available on the Internet to download. May I also advise that you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, if you are not using it already.
