Hi, can someone please tell me what am i not doing right:

i have the antivirus, firewall installed, the spyware malware check thingy, my wireless function is off, my internet provider assured me they are not the ones doing it, leaking info, using a free proxy, i am not visiting suspicious sites, getting keylogged, still somehow somebody keeps hacking - how are they doing this ... what else can i do?
 
In addition to what John asked, why were you using a proxy? Free proxies are notorious for stealing personal and confidential data.
 
Hey John, system does not really show up much ... this old guy approached me and plain outright started a convo about smthn i was watching the night before and he was also talkin about an e-book i downloaded years ago, also someone seems to be opening up topics on an online forum - topics related to my google searches - can just about anybody hack or what, i mean this person seems to even see what i comment on my facebook and my facebook is not publicly visible. I personally think someone is on purpose provoking me.

@WRX ... r u not suppose to use proxies - if not, what then, i did not know that?

Whats wrong with using your own IP address? Are you trying to hide who you are? For some reason I want to think you are a prior member here that was causing problems.

Since you are using proxies, I'm not gonna help. If you think you are hacked reinstall windows and use your designated IP address from your internet provider.

no john i just read that one should use a proxy thats all no secret agenda dude, sorry if it bothers u, really i am far from what you are alluding to, oh i have reinstalled windows multiple times, they are still at it, this has been ongoing for 2 yrs... after what WXR said i am gonna go proxy free since obviously its a no no, thank u for your input, much appreciated, anybody else any thoughts?

the proxy thing really surprised me, i thought everyone was using it, i thought proxy was like an antivirus or any other must have thing one installs

Proxies are generally used for bypassing firewalls, such as in schools and workplaces, or accessing sites that are not available in your country. There is absolutely no reason why you'd have or want to use a proxy for normal web browsing.

Many proxies are just bad news, they love stealing your data.
 
tnx wrx yeah when u put it that way it makes sense, ill drop it, but whoever's hacking is being all smart about it and get this ridiculing me as to why i wasnt using a proxy....how is the hacking technically done, i mean other than keyloggers and if its not keyloggers, how is it done? After i reinstall the windows how does this person tail me again, how do they find me? i dont know what else to do other then going to the police and sussing this nitwit out, he has been at it for 2 years i think it be only fair of him to go to the police himself and just stop it.

Your best bet IMO is to change all your passwords (e-mail, financial, online forums, everything), format and reinstall your OS, make sure you have anti-virus and anti-spyware software installed, and start over.
