You really should at least run a software firewall. If you had your account number anywhere on your computer and especially your password written down somewhere on it you very well could have been compromised. Using a firewall to secure your info is IMO a necessity. The guy that used to help me when I bought my first computer was a "script kiddie" who got his jollies looking around in computers on the net. I assume even ZA and some other firewalls can be broken into but I would guess it can be done by only a very advanced hacker.
