I intend on posting this in several forums to try and receive any ideas or answers upon the subject and I need desperate help with this.
Recently I have been having problems with my internet and @ first it caused me no concern whatsoever, just inconveince I use mozilla firefox and when some select pages finish loading it shuts the entire firefox window out Ive looked at all the setting on my computer and they havent been changed and are set the way it was before the problem started occurring.
Recently I downloaded limewire and a hash making video that I used to have on my old pc. I only got limewire because I wanted the specific video and I didnt remember the web url, so when I finished with limewire I deleted it (just dont care for the program)
I asked a friend of mine that knows everything about computers from the ground up and he said that it sounds like someone got my ip address and are using it to fuck with me .
So if this is so how would I go about preventing it, and what access would they have to my computer.
My friend couldent tell me. Im assuming since they can close firefox then they may be able to browse other files that I have on my pc and some of it I wouldent want other untrusted eyes to be prying into ..
Im thinking that someone may be trying to monitor my activites because of the video that I downloaded from limewire I know limewire isnt that dangerous because of the video but the fact that I downloaded it and I just got dsl last week from my phone company and I dont know if they screen anything that is being viewed/downloaded by their customers or not. The way they told me to set the dsl up called for setting the ip address to be aqquired automatically, so I am also assuming that this built a network directly between my pc and something/someone at the phone company.
Any ideas, suggestions, ANYTHING would be appreciated.
