    I guess only msn guys could help me out if they do such things. Ill check that out... I guess hacking is against the law and if somehow i managed to prove that he hacked my sytem than he could be behind the bars.:)

    :laugh: yeah all the best in catching him... out of interest is he doing any malicious? like talking to friends sending emails. beating your friends at checkers? if this 'person' isnt doing anything its unlikely you have even been hacked. but more of a ghost, in that when you shut down he doesnt leave for a bit. who knows... hey a nice hacker.. makes a change :-D

      he means you have Malware (bad software) on your machines that logs key strokes then a bad person will have your log on ID and password. you say you reformat your machine, so either your getting reinfected very quickly or more likely he knows the answer to your Question on your account. the question and answer to mine is nonsence so if i ever forgot my password which is well highly unlikely theres no chance i could get a new one. so not sure if its possible. change your Question and Answer and change your password on a secure machine.

      whenever I'm allowed to write my own questions they always look like nonsense, but have a definite and obvious meaning to me. Given a bit of prodding a few immediate family members could probably figured out what they're referring to, but I doubt they'd be able to do it on their own.

        Haha that's true, I thought someone had infiltrated my Instant messaging account a while back...I forgot my phone signs me on automatically when I turn it on. I signed on a different account and messaged the "infiltrator" only to have my phone buzz in my pocket "New Message- WHAT THE F*&$ GET OFF MY SCREEN NAME A$$ HAT".

              Heya, How can one hack the msn id. Well i don't know there is one guy who always hack my msn id all the time. I have changed it lot many times keeping really difficult password, keeping hint questions really tough. But still this guy has hacked my id. Well one of my friend yesterday told me that i was online whereas i was not. And i am sure that was the same guy again. Is there any way i could take action against him..?? Now i don't know any details of that person except his msn id.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. ta

              If no other person has physical access to your machine then I sugges intalling a good firewall. Most firewalls will ask you to grant outbound access to a program. Then you'll be able to see if any programs running on your machine are uploading data.

              I didn't get any requirements for the signature

                It could be that Outlook (or some other app) is using msn in the background and you don't know it. Or it's not shutting down properly after you use it. The person you're chasing might just be yourself :laugh:

                Oh no that's not true....Well i remember 2yrs back he hacked ma id and changed the password. I was not able to access it and it was really important for me to log inn to the msn mail that time. So i asked this guy pretending as if i dont know who hacked it..And asked this guy to help me out in getting my password back. Very next day he called me to give my new password.I knew it was him but i didnt said him anything at that time as i was not having proof. So i am 101% sure that he is the one but i dont have a proof to knock him down.

                  Asking about hacking = 1 vote. Sadly the MSN support is worth what you pay for the service (nothing).

                    Are you asking "How can I get access to someone else's MSN ID" or "How do I stop someone else getting my ID"?

                        I want to take him to prison for this.As he has stollen my important data and etc etc.... Last time i didnt said him anything but now i think i have to teach him a good lesson so that he gets on with his own life and don't interfere in mine.. I want to get onto his id but in a legal way, I dont want to do anything illegal. So its just to know the ideas how can i knock him down. I would be creating new account and stuff now but to be on a safe side in future and not to worry about that a** h**e, i have to take some action. ta

                              Yeh he got into ma account, read the mails, changed the password but as i was bit tensed and my condition with him was not that bad at that time so to show himself great he gave me back the changed password. But now last i saw that guy was 2 yrs back and then something bad happened and he got disappeared after that. And even i moved to another country. So i kind a forgotten all that he did but now things are coming up again. And i really dont wanna be bothered of worrying about my account all the time. So let's see..ill do something good this time. That's for sure...

                                Yeh i guess msn people could help me out in this..Ill check about that this weekend. As that's what i said its illegal and against the law so he could be easily punished if ill get the proof. So i just have to act bit smart this time and more importantly i have to take my precious time for this stupid stuff....Anyway ill see wt could be the option for me. Or do you think i should give him another chance ?

Tools you can use to catch the IP address: - Firewall Logs... if you have a hardware router (between cable modem and your computer), you should be able to enable traffic logging. when you're connected to your perp, check the logs to see who you're sending to. - netstat... open a command prompt. Type 'netstat -a'. Take note of any IP address that isn't you or your ISP. 127.0.0.1 is you. 192.168.anything is also you.
