Hacked… Bigtime…  
He moved my windows around. He made my mouse move. I saw him open my Half-Life and get my cd-key… he opended a full screen chat… and talked to me… he told me everything on AIm as he was doing it.

Please get his IP somehow if possible… His AIM scren name is: OmniWall

This really sucks… alll my work… to waste… ☹ ☹ ☹

I want to get him arrested.

ZoneAlarm is in addition to Norton. I had a guy put 10.5 Gigs of stuff on my hard drive. Slowed me down terrribly…

**OR** configure your network protocols so that they can’t access your system. Test your system \*\*[here](https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2), \*\*then follow the instructions to make it secure.

ZoneAlarm is a great program for sure and free is always good. Norton has a good personal firewall too but honestly - I dont think anything beat’s a router - imo anyway.

One question - why the hell didnt you just turn off your computer while he was on there…? That would have kicked him off.
