i pissed a bunch of ppl off (about 50) with insults and stuff and now they have my IP adres. i downloaded zonealarm pro, but what else can i do to stop them? how can they hack me? plz im a newby and need some advice on what to do

All I have to say is LOL! Dude why in the world would you even talk §|-|1± to people you don't know espically on the internet? What you did was practice "security by obscurity",you assumed that users are stupid but in reality those users were smarter than your assumptions.

If I was one of those dudes and you pissed me off and insulted me I would secretly install a FTP server on your system tell all my friends about it and you would have a lot of people in your system and you would not even know about it. As far as zonealarm is your firewall hahaha all A hacker/cracker has to do is install the FTP server HTTP server etc.. in the windows start up folder and it will boot up the server every time you start windows. Maybe you will learn your lesson!
