How do I know if I'm being hacked? I was downloading Adobe Reader and it said if I am having trouble downloading it, then turn off the protected mode so then something strange happened and my computer stalled out for a while. I did close out everything and shut my computer down. Is it supposed to take that long?1 person needs an answerI do too

If you were doing a web install of Adobe Reader, depending on your type of internet connection, you could grab dinner and a movie while you wait. I dumped Adobe Reader because of it's size, vunerabilities and all too frequent updates and now use Foxit Reader, http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/reader4.php

Easy way to find out is by running full scan with:http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htmAt the end if you see Virus or suspect open ports then thats mean something is wrong but if everything was fine then that is ok.Make sure your are using Anti-Virus and it is fully update.
