well don't use an unsecured computer. you can use bitlocker on the removable drive to encrypt it, and also use a smart key usb flash drive to log onto your computer. hell you could go as far as using a biometric system to protect your computer. don't use on any other 3rd party computer. only use the one that you now is secure and encrypted.

All that is great advice - but one I am talking about someone taking over your computer remotely- My point is it seems to me that we have come to the point were one has to now take a course on net security just to go online. Hackers have made it unsafe for ordinary folk who falsely believe they are secure.
I thought my computer was secure. When the hackers got hold of my Mac I actually wiped it clean and re-installed the system- within 15 minutes they had control over my Mac again. Is the web only for tech for now then?
sorry for the crap you've gone through, but you are using a mac. ios has very week security. you could try rotating your ip, either turn your router off for an hour or ask your isp to do it. use paid firewalls from avast or similar reputable company. but unless you get rid of the mac and use a pc, there isnt much you can do.
