A guy sent me a message through Windows Live Messenger telling me he was "port-scanning" me.
I thought he was exaggerating/lieing about his leet hacker skills, but I disconnected my PC from my modem anyways. Right now I'm on an old laptop. About 10 minutes after I disconnected, he told me "i dont recommend restarting ur pc ever again! muahaha"
I just finished a scan with AVG 8.5 (which I update all the time) and there's nothing found on my PC. I then went to this link: http://www.auditmypc.com/firewall-test.asp to find out if I had any vulnerable port open. I don't know a whole lot about port-scanning and what-not, but it told me that I didn't have any open. (though I'm not sure how good that site is either)
On top of AVG's firewall, I think I have a hardwall firewall in my modem. (not sure)
And since he said not to restart my computer, I also checked out the startup folders and see nothing out of the ordinary.
Am I safe to reconnect my PC to the net?
PS: I looked at his YouTube profile, and the only "hacking" related videos he has favorited or commented on are little command prompt tricks like getting Administrator status in Windows or something. He also has pretty bad grammar, if that reflects anything.
