More likely is that you invited some malware to implant itself through your actions, which may include visiting risky web sites, or downloading virus infected files from risky web sites. Don't even hook up to the internet without a firewall, a good anti-virus program, good spyware scanners, AND a solid backup and restore plan. And to be effective, you must actually use those tools on a regular basis. On Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 12:30 pm, Tyler wrote: >A hacker hacked my computer and deleted my taskbar for good.
