What sort of firewall are you running? Firewalls are your first line of defense. I have one on each computer and another on my router. Properly configured port-blocking is ESSENTIAL to preventing such an attack.
Second, what sort of anti-virus and anti-spyware are you running? Not all of them are created equal. Chances are that even if you put up a decent firewall now, there have been enough changes to your system that they have a back door.
I get a little pop-up any time someone or something attempts to alter my Registry. Clicking all of those "Allow change" buttons is annoying when I go to install stuff, but it beats the alternative;leaving my ssytem wide open.
You may need to do a clean re-install to totally undo the damage in case he put in a back-door, but you DEFINITELY need a better firewall.
Why doesn't my online banking account have a 'remember me' button? It's annoying typing everytime

its werid cause i have this thing called norton security and its supposed to be good and it has all those things like u said all those pop ups saying allow this program but when i click on the cpu usage it says ... system 100% norton 0% so i think the hacker shut it down or something

Norton is a joke. Use AVG, ESET, McCaffree, or any of a dozen or so other system security programs. Just avoid the ones that appear out of nowhere telling you you've been infected. Chances are, they DID IT to you.
