Well if there's someone reading your IM's from a whole different computer than that shouldn't be possible unless they hacked into your computer.



If someone hacked into your computer, restore it completely.

Yes, probably. If they have physical access to the computer they can "bug" it in such a way that they can tell every single thing you type, every program you run, every site you visit, and more. It is very possible.



If they don't have physical access they can still "bug" it through a virus or through network snooping, but these are very much less likely.

Yes -- But you can’t stop it if you are a desirable target.



A linksys firewall and Zonealarm work for most people.

Popup Blocker:

Spend time surfing the Internet and you know about pop-up advertisements, small windows that open automatically to promote Web sites or products. Some pop-ups are benign; others more malevolent, spawning new pop-ups as quickly as you can close them – causing your Internet connection to slow dramatically as your browser tries to load all the unwanted incoming data.



With the Popup Blocker, you can block these pop-up Web pages, often shutting them down before you are aware of them. It also filters many Web page graphical advertisements on the pages you visit. Preventing these ads speeds your Web page loading times dramatically by cutting out the content you don’t need while leaving the information you do.



The Popup Blocker is installed into the System Tray where you can manage popups as you surf the Internet.



To enable the Popup Blocker tool:

Check the Enable System Mechanic Popup Blocker tool check box.

To add a window title rule to the Black List:

Click Add and the Black List - Add new Popup Window Title Rule window appears. Active browser window titles are listed in the large box.



Type the name of a window to block in the empty text box.





Note: When adding an open popup to your Black list, the popup window closes immediately and is prevented from appearing in the future. It also adds the browser name to the list. This only works if you use one Web browser. To block that popup from all browsers and website is blocked you use, add a new rule to the list.





Enabling Homepage Guard will keep your Internet home page from changing without your knowledge. It stops malware, adware, viruses and other Web sites from taking you anywhere you do not want to go.



Enabling Search Page Guard keeps your Internet search page from changing without your knowledge. It stops malware, adware, viruses and other Web sites from taking you anywhere you do not want to go.
