Mr. Maxwell,

My earlier posts on this site (circa 2002) were concerned with the activities of an obsessed individual who, over time and with the aid of corrupt police officers and persons at AT&T,...

Thanks nihil and others.

In a day or two I hope to try a few things in safe mode. Meanwhile, I'd like to stay with the idea of a targeted attack. Let's say I have an online enemy. How would...

Thanks again, nihil:

I checked out scareware and saw screenshots nearly identical to what I saw on my screen and am thus convinced that what happened to me was a scarewar attack, as you said. No...

Thanks again, ninil! Much good info here.

How would a scareware attack be launched? Would it be 'moored' to a specific site like an old naval mine? Or would it be fired at me like a bullet by...

Thanks, nihil:

Has Defender ever knocked you off the web as I describe and given you a list of infections by name and something like scandsys107f_ 8028 for a response, that Microsoft does not...

Hello,

Yesterday I was surfing the Web and was knocked off by Windows Defender. I run Defender with Ad Aware free. A Defender window showed I was infected by five viruses, one of which was of...

Hello All,

Is it possible that an enemy could hack a large commercial site where I have an online shop and compromise my email and shopping cart, so that I might be getting traffic and never know...

Thanks, Soda, for your detailed post.

I didn't know you could restrict scripts in your browser. That's a good suggestion.

You can find Stop Sign at eaccelaration.com. It's a complete package...

Hello All,

Thanks for your replies. I gather it woldn't make much difference if I limited my time on the Net as a defense mechanism, if the attacker can fire viruses at my machine any time. ...

Hello All,

If I am being hacked/cracked by a determined enemy, as I believe I am (see posts below), would it matter if I limit my time online - I have broadband. In other words, get on, do my...

Hello All,

It has been suggested to me (see Masked Hacker IP post below) that a router would be an effective device to add to my anti-virus arsenal, especially inasmuch as all of my protection was...

Hello All,

What does a hacker see onscreen when he is hacking your computer? What would a screenshot of his screen look like?

How does a hacker acquire your computer, assuming you have...

I'm writing from a different computer; mine is still in the shop. That's what I mean by "in the future."

Is a router for a stand alone PC? I thought they were for networks. But then, I'm a...

Thanks for staying with this issue.

Starting my puter in safe mode is one of the recommendations Stop Sign made to me in our exchange of emails post-disaster. It will be one thing I do in the...

Cybr1d:

Yes, I have Zone Alarm Pro. That too was disabled. This is obviously a hacker with high level skills...which is very frightening to me.

FYI

These attacks are against my home computer. I have broadband. Insamuch as I am running an online business, they represent an infrigement against my right to run a business. It takes nearly...

Hello All,

Is it possible to identify a hacker who is attacking your computer repeatedly if he masks his IP? If so, how can this be done?

Thank you.

My PC is being bombarded by a particular virus called "No Close." It appears as a window that says an illegal operation has been performed and the program will be shut down. The puter does not...

Recently while online my flatbed film scanner turned on without my prompting. The Canon software turned on and loaded several screens, blocking the net page I was on. I cancelled the action and it...

Ms. Mittens is right. I met this person years ago in a park. It is an obsession that has grown to monstrous proportions. In the beginning, based on what she told me, I think she had help from a...

Thank you each for your posts, especially Nokia, for your first post. I'm quite certain that what is happening has nothing to do with my cell phone, which is brand new. I've not put that number out...

In the past I have made a number of posts in this forum on the subject of a bizarre case of telephone harassment. I noted that the harasser was able to make phone-related sounds (not rings, exactly)...

Shortly after I got cable, a problem arose on my blue welcome MSN Explorer page. When I click on the desktop MSN Explorer icon, I get a window that says: "We're very sorry, but MSN Explorer has...

RoadClosed, thanks for your posts with ARRL and AT&T links. This already is or would be a criminal case of aggravated harassment except that my local precinct just isn't doing the job. They claim...

Thank you each for your posts. Briefly, the situation I'm in goes like this:

I am under attack from someone who has insider information of the phone network and possibly possesses esoteric or...
