Solve : Does my computer still seem to be 'hacked'??

Answer»

Recently I had to create a new FACEBOOK account due to someone HACKING in to it and also they changed my hotmail account password etc and now recently on my old facebook account there is a picture of myself EXACTLY the same as on my new account and they are also friend requests being sent out from my old facebook account to my friends on my new one.

So is it a possibility that even though I have started using Comodo Firewall and Avira anti virus - the latter says i have no viruses/worms etc, that my computer is still hacked and that they still have access to my documents on my hard drive or is it a facebook fault that I am still in some way linked to my old account?? please help, thanks.

Well, I think that the damage, if any, may have been done before you started using it. Using the antivirus and the firewall is a good idea, but it protects you from the exact point for which the successful installation and update on your computer happened until the day you uninstall the program, whenever  And also, no antivirus program is 100% good, there's always going to be something that GETS by, however rare the probability of that happening.

that is.

You may have information on your old facebook that's linked to (or is same as) your new facebook account, you might have had your IP jacked, if it's a static IP and they tracked you to your new facebook account, I don't know exact specifics of what may happen, just throwing out the possibilities coming to my mind at the moment.No-one can access your computer through Facebook.

Just email Facebook with a link to your old account and ASK them to close it, giving the reason that someone has gained access to it without your PERSON.
