There a lot of ways someone may destroy your computer.With flooding with mailbombing,with trojan horse,with massive attack from many computers,with port attacks and many other. My first advice is to learn what are all ports about. You must know for what are they for FTP for WWW or for telnet you must know all of them cause you'll now scan your computer for opened po- rts and when you see one port is open if you know the ports you'll know why and for what is this port open. I'll suggest you to find a tool called X-NetStat this tool is available in almost every hacking web page. If you can't find it mail me and I'll tell you from where to get it. This tool will show all ports open on your computer. So you can check which ports are open. PEOPLE find a good trojan cleaner scan yourself and then connect to the net. Many people are infected and they don't know. People can connect to you and destroy you. So use a good trojan scanner I recommend you Trojan Defence Suite it's the best out there. Scan yourself and then you can connect to the net. Now about ICQ.You maybe use ICQ. You can be crushed from there. I'll advice you to find a tool called ICQ hacking protection as I told you almost every hacking site have it. This tool will mess your ICQ ports and open several this will confuse the attacker and he won't be able to attack you. In your ICQ options choose not to receive express e-mails. In this way you won't be attacked with e-mail via ICQ. Also choose not to retrieve PAGER messages. You won't be bombed again. Also you may choose to receive messages only from people on your contact list. This is the maximum protection for ICQ I think. Now It's time to talk about Denial of Service attacks. Find a tool called NukeNabber this will motitor all of the most often attacked ports and will protect you from being nuked. A good idea is also to find a firewall to protect yourself.
