    re -configure your computer and never change your ip gateway. it could be a virus attack. generally hackers do not tell that they are hacking you.

    in any case all of us are always pron to hacking as soon as we connect to the internet.

    Try using SpyBot or Ad-Aware professional.

    These are free for personal use.

    Scan your PC. These software can tell about dailers and hijacker programs installed
