suppose your computer got hacked by someone and you are unable to do anything.then under that situation what will you do? what will be your plan to get rid of it.
once my pc was hacked by someone, at that time i had installed norton antivirus, it showed that some unwanted thing is there but it cann't stop it. at that time i simply disconnect my laptop from net and i formatted my laptop.all my data get deleted as i don't have the back up.
so what do you think the thing to do under such circumstances??

It depends on how bad it is. Some stuff are just trojans and spyware but if it's something serious like they got my identity and banking information, then I would likely contact my bank and local authorities to report a suspected internet crime.

A friend of mine didn't take it seriously but lucky our banking system here works very well. Someone stole his credit card information and tried to buy some laptops online. The account was immediately frozen and further action was taken.

Haven't experienced it, but if that occurs, I'll just do what you did, but in my case I don't have any Anti-Virus installed in my computer so I dunno if I can detect any of the signs, hahaha^_^

if people are sensible and keep their pc secure and thge updates d/loaded then the chances of being hacked are tiny.

Most people open emails or click on links thats the usual way people get hacked which is easily avoidable by not openning anything you are suspicous of and keeping anti virus upto date as a fail safe.

If I got hack I'd turn pc off restart in safe mode with no networking and take the virus or the malicious program out. If I suspected my bank details were taken I would just change all my passwords once I had the pc clean.

It really is no big issue if you are careful and keep your updates upto date and also have your anti virus working chances are very low.

yes,if we have our pc up to date and never click on suspicious or spam emails then there is less possibility of being hacked.thanks for the reply.
