Virus

how it is poosible that he save me all msn chat and he gave ,me proof also which file he hack in my system have u people any idea

There are a lot of possible solutions to take care of your current situation. Sorry to hear that you were hacked. #1, an appropriate solution all depends on your environment, and how you are connecting to the Net. Are you at home, or in a home office with a DSL or Cable Modem service?

Search The web for "Personal Firewall" application, especially some free ones....In my opinion, this is a good first step to getting more secure and somewhat hack proof.

There's also a fairly well known exploit for MSN's Messenger service. Microsoft suggests upgrading to the newest version of MSN Messenger...

While a good personal firewall helps... securing your system is a tiered approach. Firewall/AntiVirus (religiously updated)/Vendor patches-Fixes/and good old-fashioned caution (if you don't know what it is... don't touch it!!).

In this instance, a firewall probably would not have caught the infraction since you opened the door for the attack. This sounds like *you* purposely asked to be hacked, but in reality and as firewalls work, you already had the channels open on the firewall that the exploit needed, just by virtue of letting MSN Messenger communicate.

In this case, a good (updated)AntiVirus program would have been the better defense...

You could try running Zonealarm, but if I were you, I would get rid of MSN Messenger; change your logon ID for it, the run Zonealarm and use a different chat program. If someone has your number, then you need to change it!
