Yes, I use a Belkin KVM/Router along with a brand new AT&T modem..Evidently
they can be seen if this guy got in..I don't know what or how to open/close
ports unless it something I do and am unaware of it.Phyllis in San Antone

What is the status of security on your systems? Do you have a router
with a firewall (hardware or software)? Can any of your computers be
seen by outside computers in the Internet? Have you gone to the Gibson
Research's Shields Up!! webpage and done a check? Have you opened any
ports that can be accessed by a hacker?
Do you have ZoneAlarm? Lavasoft's Ad-Aware? Spybot? Windows Defender
or Firewall on? Any other Internet security software besides anti-
virus?
Have you employed any wireless adapters on your network? Are they
encrypted? Have you tried changing that password or code generation
key?
Sometimes a Trojan will appear like a user on your system and be
accessing the inner works, communicating with home through your
Internet connection, and generally taking over a lot of CPU time and
capability. If you cut the Internet access and try to isolate any
suspicious activity with a virus scan, you may find your "hacker".
