First off, change your passwords for your AIM accounts to something VERY hard. Make them long, at least 10 characters, letter's, number's, and also special characters like (#, $, %, ^, &, *). Write your passwords down in a safe place and hide them where no one can see. I also suggest getting Tiny Personal Firewall, Trillian Pro, Sygate Personal Firewall, Norton Anti-Virus Professional, McAfee Anti-Virus/Anti-Hacker Pro, something that will monitor everything that opens in and out of your PC. You want the entire einchalada. Also, I'd recommend calling the FBI to get these little parents fined or sue their asses. They are obviously threating you and if you can get a IP address and some screen shots, maybe even a screen video capture, you can make lots of cash. Also get a hardware firewall, aka a Router, a good one. Not some cheap Linksys, I'm talking sturdy, 256BIT Encryption. Something that would take YEARS to crack. Make your passwords always as long and hard as possible. You might want to report your ISP about this too. Do Window's Update's, ALWAYS. Do it everyday if possible, makesure there isn't one exploit flying around your PC. Search for Spyware as well as much as you can and makesure there is thing's monitoring that nothing is capturing your keystrokes. Anymore stuff I might tell you, might jeapordize my own security, since they are hardcore, and can not be told to anyone or I might have to erase your memory. So good luck.
