There really is nothing that people in a newsgroup are going to be able
to do for you. You aren't being very clear about the problem you need
help with and it's really going to take someone skilled who is on-site
to do an accurate diagnosis.

Call a computer professional. This will not be your local version of
BigStoreUSA. If you are unwilling to do this, then back up your data and
do a clean-install of Windows.

A good place to start would be securing your router. Go to your wireless
router manufacturer's set up page, change the admin password, use the
supported encryption options and change the network access key.

As Jim said, secure your router by changing the admin password (especially if
it is still the same as when you bought it).

You should also enable some sort of filtering to restrict access - whether
WEP, WPA or MAC filtering. You'll most likely need to find someone with
average computer skills to help you with this, because you will need to
modify your computer afterwards to connect to your own wireless network.

To be completely safe, listen to Malke and just pay someone (qualified) to
come out and do this for you - they can also check to see if any "back doors"
were left on the system. It all depends on how computer savvy the person who
did this is.
