Ok this may be in the wron area, but I need some help. I have been a long time internet user and have never ever had any problems till bout a week ago. I have an up to date virus software(nortons) and a action tec wireless/fixed hub with a static ip address. I checked the logs for hack attempts about once a week with nothing and I scan every week and all incomming files usually get hit right away with nortons if they are virused. Anyways few days ago my computers were attacked, one rebooted itself, no biggie i know but when it came back on it connected itself to a web site that said you have been hacked, it was nothing malicias just someone screwing with me, i had remote desktop software setup and i turned it off and also changed the ip address of the computer that was hacked, but I fear i was to late, the next day same thing happend to my wifes puter, so I changed my whole configureration turned off anything that allowed control of any of my comptures and have not had any problems since, but this makes me wonder what I need to do. I have no firewall, don't really see the need, or actually don't see where I would put it unless it's on all computers, right? cause I use xp or 98SE so its a peer network. I downloaded a port scanner and scanned all computer ports, only ones appeared to be open were mail protocol and my ftp server. What do i need to do to find the leaks and close them and what kinda firewall and where would i set it up? Any info, web links or just personal experience in fixing this kinda problem would be appreciated. Thank you.
