Did my computer get hacked??

My HDD's were completely trashed and even after using a data recovery software, 99.9% of the files were completely trashed and even what appears to be in order was busted.

I know I was infected with W32.Whiter.Trojan, because I read its message, but there are many damages that is not relevant to it and all I can think of is hacking attempt.

For example, one mp3 tracks has been stuck together with another mp3 and it plays like a one big track, other mp3 files have been replaced with different content.

following the thread here


I was connected to many many servers on WinMX overnight on an unprotected computer running Windows Me. Could someone have gained this kind of access to my unshared hard drives?
 
easily.

Windows me can be hacked in less then 2 minutes. You really should ditch winme now and get a better OS. windows2k/xp.

not a very intelligent or helpful thing to say, if someone wanted to hack into his computer, they could do it whether he had windows 2k or xp


i have ran WinMX for days and haven't had very many problems, i don't think that you were hacked, but to be on the safe side I would recommend downloading Zone Alarm (i think that is www.zonelabs.com but im not sure) or buying a firewall
