I just learned that lesson the hard way. A hijacker got into my computer, set up a seperate EMail account, corrupted windows (no great challenge) and took control of my registry. All done little by little, insideously. System restore is gone. I am waiting for my new computer to be delivered.

What a bummer! I would see a lawyer to discuss filing a civil suit so that you can get money for damages.

Get Mozilla Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail
server. Then get AVG free anti virus. Much safer
with these programs.
