Hacked

[shmoks]

Hacked- what rights do i have?
My computer has been hacked. I have strong suspicions of who has done it and was wondering about the laws? They havent used my credit cards etc but gone through my email, social networking, deleting and adding as they please. All my browsers have been set to a certain homepage aswell. The computer itself is very slow and many programmes will not work and anti virus picked up a programme and removed it. It was my own name followed by .exe. Not sure if that has much to do with it or not?

How do you know you were hacked and didn't catch a malware infection?

You could have a legal field day with them as long as your willing to give a deposition of what brought all this on. As for who, you press charges of hacking with intent to inflict mental duress. And the old favorite, stalking.
But you need to be damn sure of who and why or it could blow up in your face.

Ohsnapword makes a good point. Malware will change your browser homepage long before a hacker would.
Be sure of what's on your system before you go pointing fingers.

Hi shmoks (you don't say what part of the world your from, so cant comment on laws)

Two things you can do ... download RKill (free) (it finds and stops many infections). Download Malwarebytes (free) (it cleans infections)

Link RKill > Downloading RKill

Link Malwarebytes > Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

1. run RKill

2. then run Malwarebytes (full scan)

I couldn't have said it better myself.

If I were to hack a person's computer, I would most certainly do everything I can to not leave a trace.

Thanks for the replies Im assuming I got hacked because only certain emails that apply to the person i suspect have gone missing.
Then again im quite computer illiterate and unsure what malware is?
Plus the 'virus' or programme or whatever it was was that antivirus removed was called my own name followed by .exe

Ive just discovered that my hacker has been logging into my facebook on an iphone 5. Is it possible to trace the number and take action?

Ok look you obviously have a problem that is beyond the scope of this forum.
Go to the cops. Tell them what you know and who you think it is. Let them handle it.
