I wanna know that if someone knows my ipaddress can hack my computer? Well a bit curious...!

You never know what can happen and when. computer freaks and hacker are too expert. If a hacker need to hack your computer he will hack it even without knowing your IP Address... Knowing the IP Address will just make the hacker's work easy...! Thats it...!

Hey...!
Security or privacy is a must for all the users...! You can install Antivirus software to prevent any ISV [info stealer virus] or trojan horses from modifying or stealing info fom your computer, Install a firewall to detect an intruder. Moreover disable file and printer sharing over network...! This will ensure optimum security... But 100% secure? There is no such thing...!:bleh:
All the best...!
