1) Change your e-mail address. Have 2, a 'public' and a very private one.
2) Install Comodo Firewall straight away.

3) Be very wary about any e-mails, especially if there are attatchments. Thats how they usually install the trojans they need to hack.
4) You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

did you give him/her any of your passwords? No is a good answer. Are your firewall and virus scanner switched on and up to date? No is a really bad answer.
If your answers are all good, the hacker can hack off. Not much can be hacked with just an email address. But to be safe, change your email password to one which is
- hard to guess
- complex, like
bar(exJ&73!,iyee
or something more memorable, but with capitals, numbers, symbols and not abc123!

if you recive an email from them block their email address. You cannot hack a persons whole computer using an email address.
