I see so many suggestions, it's kind of overwhelming where to start from.

Start with Wildcatboy's post. In addition you may want to look at rootkit detection. »www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint···ler.mspx

Also as a last line of defense you may look into encryption programs like truecrypt. That away if you become infected and something happens to your system. Anything the hacker downloads that is encrypted will not be usable by the hacker in most cases. Unless you use an easy password like 1234 were they can brute force crack it. edit: Or the hacker logged your passwords, which case you should realize as soon as you are aware of an infection not to use any your passwords at all.
