Well, getting hacked is almost always user error. If you follow a few simple steps your chances of being hacked are probably about 0.1%.
1. Get a NAT router with a firewall built in.
2. Always virus scan attachments before opening them, even if they are from someone you know (many viruses and trojans will email themselves from other peoples address books).
3. If you want to be really safe then run all suspect .EXE's in Windows 2000's or Windows XP's built in guest account.
4. Oh, and never give out your password from an email.
99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
Who's a moron? And who said that I gave out my password? I do believe that I made it clear that I was hacked for some other way I'm not entirely clear on. But the thing that is clear is the deuchebag who did it, and it's also clear that when I see him, he's gonna clearly see the 2x4 in his face. Gosh nerdy kids make me sick.
