"Has my computer been hacked?" is a question that I hear relatively frequently in the IT support business. Unfortunately, most "hacks" are not nearly as ovbious as a web page stating that you have been hacked with some weird arabic text scrawled underneath.

However, the vast majority of people don't need to worry about a dedicated hacker trying to compromise their system, and if you are just an average Joe wondering if you can safely enter in that credit card on your computer, this article might just be of some help.
