Please stop abusing the word hacker.

Never heard the terms 'Hacktivism' and 'Crypto-anarchism' before clicking on that link.

Very cool.

Install Microsoft Antispyware. Works pretty well.

Get a Mac.

Works better

Yes. But unlike some they can do it properly

No idea. Am I just lucky that this doesn't happen to me then? (He says, furiously touching wood. As it were)

One answer: A proper firewall

Ah, that'll be why I'm lucky then. There's one in the wireless router thingummy.

(Shouldn't you be revising or is that done with now?)

My firewall is software, never had any problems with hacking or so too...

After every exam I take an afternoon off, that's why (and I just had one this very morning)

It took me ages to get the hang of spyware/anti-virus things when I first went online. I think I have just about got it now!

Well after some time I just have got all my things back and running.

I will buy a router I think, these thing have better fire wall than just the free one's of the net.

It is still pretty s h i t !!! that the spyware is getting hardcore !

To protect your computer, get a firewall that involves kerosene and bunsen burners.

Not necessarily, there are some very good software firewalls too... I run Sygate Personal Firewall, but another good one is ZoneAlarm (more userfriendly) and there are even more good ones...

At least, that's my opinion, now hear the techies'

I took the easy route and installed a Debian Linux box running NAT and Shorewall and a few other things. It downloads security updates every night automatically.

I also use Thunderbird and Firefox (yes, the trial was successful!) which limits my risk.

I installed Norton AntiVirus, is that any good? I was recommended it by a "professional".
