I wanna send them an I'M ON TO YOU message of my own. any ideas? are they able to track me because they have my ip address? At first I thought they found me because of a keylogger virus on my old comp but now, even with my brand new comp and norton firewall and virus protection here they are again. how is this possible? what can I do about it? and can I find them and possibly see if it's anyone I know personally cause it kinda freaks me out. thanks a lot, any reply will be appreciated. er, paranoid? lol i thought that too, but no way! two different comps and like 500 times at least! thanks again. and ya know "paranoia is a hightened sense of awareness." Mod Edit: This post will be split off to it's own topic. So both topics will be able to get the attention they deserve. ~ S This post has been edited by Scarlett: Dec 31 2005, 10:42 AM
