Create a "hidden share" for the computer's main drive (usually designated as C). \n\nFor a full step-by-step method, visit www.practicallynetworked.com (one of the best -- and my favorite -- resources on networking questions of all kinds.)\n\nBest of luck, and be sure to record your hidden share information someplace safe -- you WILL need to access this at some point in the future. Bet on it.\n\nYou will NOT be able to hide your IP address on the Internet without a proxy or special software/hardware cloaking devices.

You should use a combination.\n\nSpy Bot (http://www.safer-networking.org/)\n\n\nAd-Aware (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-2)\n\n\nSpyware Doctor (IMO THE BEST ONE!)\nhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor/3000-8022_4-10377263.html

If you changed the default admin password on the router and enabled encryption, thats a good start.\n\nYou could also set the router to only accept signals from your system by specifiying the MAC address of your NIC

Get an application based firewall like zonealarm. \nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/

Use a port scanner. The firewall might block icmp traffic but not other ports / protocolls like file / print shares, web (port 80) and so on...\n\nThere are lots of port scanners out there, one of my favorites because very lightweight and user friendly is SuperScan4\n\nhttp://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/superscan4.htm

You need to go to control panel and click on windows firewall and disable it since you have McAfee and it it very simple to configure this to allow internet access of your programs.

control panel---administrator tools--services\n\nlook for any symatec or norton service running, stop it and disable, Norton AV is notorious for bad uninstalls, sometimes you have to manually delete the diretcory, the registry entries ect.. there is some freeware Norton installers on Cnet if I recall correctly. personally your gonna replace one bad program with another, McAfee not much better.\n\n\n\nget the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience,\n\n\nANTI VIRAL\n\nAVG (free) http://free.grisoft.com/\n\n\nFIREWALL \n\nZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp\n\nWEB BROWSER - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird\n\nEMAIL  use thunderbird.

Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.\n\n2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.\nsome like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.\n\n3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)\n\n4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.\n\n5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)\n\n6. Change username/password of access unit front end\n\n7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.\n\n8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)\n\none last tip\ncontrol panel---administrator tools--services--messenger\n\nright clik on it\nstop the service\nthen disable it\nsave changes

somebody is apparently playing with you, by using a VNC client that is installed at your end, they can have full control over your machine. it doesn't need a firewall permission nor a remote assistance component.. you can use a spyware removal tool such as Spyware Doctor ( http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ ) to detect and remove any hidden vnc agents\n\nto learn more about how VNC works, go to http://www.tightvnc.com
