I'm definately going to try out all of the links that you all posted.

But one question that didn't get directly answered and I'm still currious about. On the night that I got hacked into, I didn't personaly download anything, I just had my server open for my friends. So how is a hacker able to upload a trojen into my Windows Directory when he shouldn't have access to that directory, let alone change my WIN.INI file? If he can already get in to upload this trojen, then can he do any other harm to my pc that I'm not already aware of?

Thanx alot for your help. I really appreciate all the support.
