My netller account was hacked (virus question)

[BIGRED]

Samething also happened to me... fkin bastard. What kind of internet security measures do you have set up on your computer?

I'm partly at fault for what happened because I was not very good about protecting my computer, but now I have a firewall set up that alerts me when something is trying to access the internet.

So if I had this, then when the MYTOB virus tried to send the keylog info back to the hacker, the firewall would've alerted me about it and I could've stopped it... Or at least that is the idea. Who know if this virus is so advanced that it could've escaped detection.

Did you have a firewall, but still got hacked? If so, then that's scary and I wonder how you other guys are going to protect yourselves?
