I may have a stalker and am wondering if they can track down my personal information such as name, address and phone number. This is scaring me a little bit. Any advice???? I appreciate anything anyone says. Thanks!!

They can't track your name address or phone number by just knowing the IP address. With this information they can find the state and ISP, but that's about it. Nothing that involves you at all. So don't worry, that gives them nothing at all that they can use to find you.

Nope, all a third person can do is to track your location (or rather city) and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you are using.
Information like phone number, name and / or address is retained by your ISP, so in order to learn more about you that person will have to get that information from ISP which they don't give unless there is a warrant from local authorities.
So don't worry, hope that helps!

Getting and posting answers to that type of question in an open forum is certainly NOT what I would suggest. Call your local police and ask to be put in touch with a Cyber Crime unit and discuss your situation and your Internet setup and computer configuration with them. Posting of specifics will only help others who are trying to learn new hacking techniques.
A Cyber Crime unit will be able to guide you to properly secure your Internet identity.

I would go to some family not to far away but not very close. I would think about contacting your local authorities. If they are a good "hacker" then yes thay can get it threw your computer.

Yes they can track your information... but there is nothing to worry about it.
