How to check if I am being attacked or have already been attacked??
Hi I am new to here and found it on Google. Sorry to skip some introduction and let me ask my questions straightforward.
A few hours ago I had trouble with someone on the internet in which he claimed to attack / hack my PC because he had my IP address. He does really have my IP address because I visited his website with Chrome or Firefox browsers. His website also showed my IP address.
I didn't provide any other personal information to him consciously. All he might have is my IP address and the record of me browsing his site. I am connecting to the internet with my desktop PC (not WIFI but I've got a wireless router), I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I didn't install any Firewall software but Control Panel suggests that I am ''connected'' to the Firewall which is a little bit confusing to me.
Questions are
1. According to my computer setting (Windows 7 home premium, no firewall, no Anti-virus, my internet is connected as soon as the cable is plugged, no username or password is required), how likely I am already hacked or attacked?
2. I have just released and renewed my IP at router's setting. However, it has been a few hours already from now. Can I check (and how to??) if my PC is already attacked / hacked or being attacked hacked now??
3. Is it possible he could not copy or delete any of my files but he could watch my activity on his screen like what I am seeing on my screen now??
Note: He is NOT Police or gov sector whom might have special ability and permission to do that and I am not a criminal. He is just an individual, but chances are he is a tech geek or even a hacker. I am just an average user (whom with some important data on my computer) , and he has my IP. I am quite worried about if I am being hacked now or already been hacked.
Thank you for all comments in advance.
