Hi there. I am about to tone up my protection a little bit more. I am very serious when the word is about prevention of any intrusion. Specifically hacker monsters. Right now, I dont have any problems with my PC, but what will happen when someone try to enter inside my desktop? I mean, I dont have so much knowledge about pure hacking prevention. I use both antivirus and firewall, but is that enough? Thanks in advance for any tip.

It all depends which firewall and antivirus software you are using. Firewall is much, much more important I think. Also, very strong password for your user account is important. For example, if you use small home network with several computers and if one of them uses a password, all other users must know the password for access, otherwise that machine wont let other people to browse inside its contents. There is a method with IP address hiding. Few programs can allow you to hide your IP address to prevent the mighty one from seeing your location.
