No offense intended to you, TetrisMaster, but why is it that everyone lately has been blaming typical Windows problems on hackers? I mean, yeah, we all know that there are a number of known vulnerabilities and exploits for each Windows operating system, but blaming a simple crash on hackers? Come on... before you start blaming hackers, maybe you should start getting to know and analyzing your systems and fix any software- or OS-related problems. Also, if you do find that there are no Windows or application problems, install a firewall and check for activity. That will give you an instant answer whether the problem you are experiencing is network, or system related.
