    Default What can a Hacker do to your Computer. . .

    I've been off line for three days due to an ATTACK ! ! !

    Whoever Hit me caused my Mcafee to Auto Shutoff. Every Time I turned it back on within 30 seconds it shut back off. And they deleted my I.P. information for my internet Provider from my Modem Driver.

    After two days with my internet Provider and A Fellow named "ABDUL" with McAfee I got back up and running. The first day was spent figuring out what the HE!@ Happened.

    are you sure it was a "hacker" and not just some malware? I have found that Mcafee and Norton are more or less worthless now. I use Avast and Comodo and have not had any nasties get in. I also run adaware and malwarebytes often to make sure nothing has snuck in (also fix a lot of machines if friends with these programs)

    I've been using System Mechanic Professional since 1998 with no real major problems ( my fault one time ) and Spybot : Search and Destroy as an extra backup .

    I have been using Malwarebytes anti malware softwarefor 5 or 6 years now. It does a great job and its FREE.
    Find it HERE: Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download
    Use the free version and update it monthly.
