What exactly do you mean? Just because somebody has your IP doesn't make your computer unsecured. Just keep up with Updates from your OS provider.

Unless you connect using UDP (Or somethin like that, don't ask.) you'll be fine. Your ISP can stop it, your Most Voice Modems can stop it, and even some virus scaners can stop it.

I HEARD, I don't know if it's true, that if you have some sort of a clock, the hacker has to log back in and start over every minute.

paranoid ?

dont be so paranoid. first of all use the brain and try to do whatever there is to do to keep hackers out. sorry to say but there is no safe why if u are online to keep them out. if they like to get u they will. lets just hope that u and me are not that important so the hackers will stay away from us

otherwise ... oldest trick in the book. TURN COMPUTER OFF, but then again ... there are ppl that break in to other ppls houses ...
