    What make you think you are being hacked ?Is your Ex an Computer tech? The only way is by using a keylogger.... But He would have to know what he is doing.. Another way would be Wireless hack.. But since you are on dial up.. i don't think you can be hacked..

    If you get a screenshot of the process list, then I can look through and see if there is anything suspicious. To get the process list, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and click the processes tab at the top.

    You can find out what each process does by typing it's name into Google.

    wait, do you have dial-up or broadband? Also, do you connect to the modem wirelessly? Any wireless connections in your house at all?

    And also spybot wouldn't really protect against hacking, or not necessarily, it's mostly for adware.
