How do I stop the Hacker ?

General Disclaimer - Happy Online would like to remind all visitors that they are responsible for their own computer settings - some suggestions may not work on some computers and may result in errors - you should only make changes to your computer if you are comfortable with any consequences that may arise.

There are various options you can use to prevent your PC from being attacked by Hackers.

One of the main ways that Hackers gain access to remote PCs is by installing a virus like software known as a Trojan on the remote PC. So like Viruses it is prudent to treat email attachments, especially from unknown soures, with caution. Also when you download software from the internet, be prepared that not all software comes from reliable sources.

If you think that it is to late and a Trojan has already been installed on your PC then you can get get software that detects and deletes a wide range of Trojans - like anti-virus software you need to update this software regularly to ensure you are protected against the latest Trojans.

However, perhaps the best way to protect yourself from hackers is to install a firewall - with a firewall you can choose which programs can access the internet - and therefore protect large areas of your PC.
