    First question that I always ask people that are getting hack is that are you using Genuine software? If you are using pirate software that is normal that hacker are there . However, if you are using Genuine software still there are ways. Check Windows Security Center/Action Center and make sure everything is on and ok especially Windows firewall. You should NOT install more that one Anti-Virus in your PC , you Don't need 3 or 4. Please explain what happen that you believe hacker are there. It is possible that you been hacked and your passowrd been stolen , in this case change password of your email(s) and everything after remove threats.

    Ok, in this case I suggest that first check your Windows Firewall and make sure it is on and running and update your Windows . I also suggest that update your Java and Adobe Flash player by try to install latest version. As long as this hacking scenario is mostly related to Facebook, I suggest to file a report to Facebook.

    You could try to use :

    http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=420

    And try to file report against this user as abuse. You also could report this to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask them to help you more about this issue. Depend on your country , there might be organisation who are doing legal action against hacking, you could ask your ISP to hlp you with that.
