i downloaded a host checking thing called host administrator and its come up with lots of web sites i think they are?
my computer was very slow and a "friend" said its hackers?
i got anti - trojan and that said all is ok there well near enough.
when i open and coe windows they scroll up and down vey slowly instead of closing so i thought im being hacked?
now im not 2 clever with comps, but my memory said i got enough there and this hosts checking thing has got me a bit worried ;o(
