Can anyone tell me how a computer reacts when it's being hacked? Need some information..+ for general knowledge. Sorry im posting this here but i just feel like i'm being hacked by someone..
Well.. depends on what the hacker is doing, but why would a hacker hack your computer? do you have military intelligence documents oO?
Looks more like a trojan/virus/... than being "hacked" like in the movies. But I'm not a virus expert so I'm afraid I can't help much here. Did you do a virusscan? Maybe you can post a hijackthis log also
After you scan using hijackthis, copy and paste the logfile which you should get in a notepad window. I personally doubt you are being hacked but if you are really worried why not use Zone Alarm or Peerblocker.
The log file does not show much to worry about. However there is one entry that does grab my attention...... This looks like the remains of something you could have previously removed. Best bet is to run a malware scan but other than this i think you have nothing to worry about.
Might I suggest you begin to learn how to use the program wireshark. You can watch any traffic on your network and any IP's that might be "after" you will be easily visable with that software
here?? Well I like to learn.Don't wanna depend on others. And anyways if someone tries to hack my coms or lappies he will be wasting time only
just to let you'll know i installed zone alarm and rebooted a few times cos it asked me too,once after rebooting my boot up got slow and laggy.i had to open task manager by pressing Ctrl.Alt.Del. and thought it would be better to uninstall it,my computer is better now but im still afraid of any kind of hack

If an attacker can't see your IP like in use of peerblock they can't see your packets thus what you are downloading or what sites you engage Usually a non-proxy vpn is how most stay "invisible" to anyone wanting access to your network traffic, etc...
