Dunno who has, or hasn't read the lil post I left in my x.t.r.GRAPHICS news post about being hacked....

Well, it gets deeper it seems:
It started with GAIM booters.. then, I found out one of the ones sending the GAIM booters was cliaming to be hacking my computer too.. I had a firewall, but I took the advice of xteraco to get something a lil stronger.. mmm -_-, and being on dailup, it was an 1 hour download..
Well, I figure I got hacked somewhere in that 1 hour period, cause, where it was just a day before, a nice steady running computer, after all this mess, it was locking up, slowing down, etc..
Well, Saturday morning, NetZero pulled a crash (that I'm used to by now) where it just stops, but still claims it's online, (I think Cha0s can add comments here, GAIM goes nutz when this happens.. Making you look like your still log on, etc..) .... Well, I found in the past, Ctrl+Alt+Del was the fastest way to kill it, w/o going through a long wait before NetZero finialy got the idea it had crashed....
But when I did that time, 5 memory dumps started.. @_@ .. I found them in the Process section on Task Manager, taking up all the CPU it could find, paking up to 93-99% CPU -- 130,000+ k of memory each.... It was so called dumprep.exe .... That morning I didn't take note of it, I just wanted to kill them fast..
Then yesterday night, I noticed they started when ever I Ctrl+Alt+Del any crashed program, so I took note, and tracked them down.... I found it in the System32 folder, w/ the sub title:
"Windows Error Reporting Dump Reporting Tool"
I don't really understand that.... Only thing I can figure, is that a hack replaced that w/ a broken version or something, if that is even a real valid windows file (I wouldn't know), so when they locked up my GAIM prog, forcing me to End it's task, it would start all those jamming devices.... And trust me, what ever is in that EXE, jams the hell out of my computer....
Does anyone w/ a lil bit more knowledge about this stuff have any more insight to what's wrong with this picture? ....
