i was minding my own business, cutting and pasting some text from HoP into an email to send some info on wraps to a friend, and whilst trying to delete some url stuff that came up i noticed my still open HoP browser window was telling me that i was attempting a Hack Attack and that i was being logged!! ARGH!!!!
*hides*
anyone else had that happen???
Mr Malcolm Sir, i dont know what i did, but i wasnt trying to hack HoP, i swear! i wouldnt know how even if i wanted to!! ARGH!
*grovels and begs for forgiveness....*

flynt, i am assuming that another site/application was running on your system when you experienced this shenanigans - we nerds like to call it a trojan. it is less worrying than the huge gusts of wind that have ripped the crap out of melbourne in the last few days.
/expects someone to rip a terrance&Phillip joke...

Get Noron virus corperate edition..its great it scans anythign and everything created edit etc...If a virus is detected it will a variety of things...box it up [folder lockdown] warning..deletion..cleanin etc..Most hacking/cracking detection wont tell the potential hacker/cracker that they were detected in order to catch them off guard. and NEVER trust free software unless it explains a whole lot about it. Most of them have spyware suchs as bonzai buddy. And a cable modem is good can be on whenever to login on..emergency shut off button if something is detected..
but thats just my thoughts

And as a back-up use an online virus scanner such as Trend Micro's Housecall.
I suggest a back up because one of the viruses we had a few months ago disabled the Norton Anti virus we had. so it remained undetected until I noticed files changing - sneaky little devil.

I got my firewall from zonealarm.com
It's come in very handy so far. Although my dad doesn't understand it so he's not allowed near it He has a tendancy to poke at things he doesn't understand
"Hey. The screen's gone black . . . "
