Getting hacked means your files, documents, drives, email accounts, almost anything that you use your computer with can get accessed. The most common way amateur hackers do this is when you get into file sharing sites like peer-to-peer and download some Mp3s or videos, you unintentionally get to download in your computer some form of spyware or worm or virus. To make sure that this does not happen, go to sites that are legal and those that guarantee that what you are downloading are safe. Stay away from freeware as much as you can.
Another way in which hackers can get to your account is through spam messages. Some hackers send you email in hopes that you will get interested and download it through them. If this happens, expert hackers can access your
bank accounts and steal money from you. They can also change your status or steal important confidential documents from your computer system especially if its connected through wireless networking. To make sure that you don't get this types of hacks, install a
spam fighting software that can help your email account from getting spam messages.
