I work in security and can tell you that anything is _possible_ although the likely cause was someone attempting to hack into your computer (while you where connected) or you may not have had all the required security updates installed on your computer (causing a virus infection to propagate to your laptop). The best advice I'd give is to install a firewall (or use the one that comes with Windows) have an up to date antivirus program (McAfee, Symantec, AVG etc.) and always run & install Windows Updates at least once a week :-) The easiest way to get your laptop back might be to reinstall all the software from the DVD that came with your laptop. I hope you have backups of all your important documents?! Hi!
