If you can't surf the internet responsibly, then don't do it all.

You are such an easy target that it wouldn't even be fun.

my zonealarm firewall (when i had it) told me it was a broswer hacking attempt, and it stopped then my zonealarm trial ran out... -___-
any other HIGHLY effective firewalls available?

Well your browser can be hacked for those disagreeing. I believe another MS vulernability came out that allows remote execution for internet explorer.

But it sounds like you've got something on there. Apply all OS patches and run the normal cleaning tools.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Yeah, some common sense about what you download

Format, reinstall, and stop being a bad boy.

The only way your browsr can be hacked is by spyware, adware, or using it to download a virus... as far as someone else using your browser that can only come after someone has gained remote access to your machine or by other means, like entering a port.. for ex. port 80 that is used by your browser. So I wouldn't say that is your browser actually being "hacked"
