Heyyo,
SLD, I believe he said he quote:"called in a guy to help" so I doupt it was the same guy that screwed the computer over. :p
Ok, yeah, did this so called "hacker" not move for a few minutes? if he was still moving and just stopped to type "I'm going to hack you" odds are he's just lame n' trying to intimidate you. You can't "hack" someone within 2 seconds. :p
Also, that's not very good man, I NEVER.. NEVER let my computers on the net without an antivirus, and the first thing I do is I get all the latest virus definitions n' junk like crazy. IF you don't have an antivirus for more than a week? you screwed yourself over soo bad. Heck, even with an antivirus I've gotten viruses. Antiviruses help, but sometimes they can't catch the virus fast enough.
Guys, don't listen to this story, go play Halo. Most lamers are too inept to learn to hack. And hacking takes a long time, probably over 20-30 mins.. so him blurting it out within 10 seconds? HA!
Firewalls do a darn spiffy job at keeping out hackers, and greatly increases the saftey of your computer, so having one's a good idea.. If you got a LAN? if you can throw on some network encryption that's all the better. ;)
So yeah, this guy just diddn't have an antivirus and well, sorry to say, screwed himself over.
The average user at home downloads stuff off p2p, and those are usually chunked full of viruses, especially kazaaa.
