I have not used an anti-virus in at least 8 years. Nor do I use a "windows" software firewall. That said for the better part of the last 4 years ive only used Linux at home. So you could argue that...

check the dns settings on your macbooks wifi interface. My first thought would be that perhaps it is still using a domain name server that belongs to your old host.

As you are no longer a...

lol its weird, i have had an account here for like 5 years, and never use it. once or twice a year ill login just cause i remember i have the account. It just so happened that i decided to drop by...

well somefilename. he's running a firewall (its what told him about the "attempt" in the first place...) so chances are if there are any network accessable ports, chances are he wants them open, as...

heh, i feel special. I did not at any point in reading this thread attempt to lick my elbow.

I would concur that he probably had a keylogger.

Tiger_Shark: You may have been around longer than I have, im not about to argue or debate whether that fact is true or false, as its quite irrelevant. I know 17 year old kids as you put it,...

why are you given the responsibility of censoring that information? and quite frankly if you want to teach someone how to keep burglars out, you have to teach them how they can get in. the two go...
