^Yes. Definitely do that (after updating your security software). If restarting your computer didn't work, I think your security may have been compromised.

Okay, I'm upgrading the system from 10.10 to whatever comes after that :/ It's going to take forever but It needs to be done

Does this happen with any other devices on your network?

If yes;

You have a problem at the Router. Restore to factory.

If No;

You have a local problem. Which OS are you using; If Windows, how often do you reboot it? What AV are you using?
Regardless of OS; Have you tried alternative DNS? Have you tried flushing your cache?

As far as I am aware, your ISP has no blocks placed against it here.

It's like this Nu:

1: There's someone or something connecting to computer on the home server when that person isn't on (I've seen this with Ether-ape utility for Linux)
2: I cannot connect to any of my e-mails (Hot-mail) or sign in to any of them (Yahoo) :/
3: I google searched some of the websites I frequently visit and there's this red shield on most of them that reads "Tracked" when I hover my mouse over them.
4: Most recently my "other" Yahoo account was hacked into, and I closed this one off, and I had to delete my face book account for fear of it being compromised, but now my other Yahoo account's probably hacked into and I can't close it off neither.
It's like this attacker has access to my browser's history, cause when I googled all my history, they all show up in the results with that red "tracked" shield right next to them.

I'm not sure what's going on but I don't like it at all
Also I'm using Ubuntu Linux 10.10 and can't upgrade it cause the upgrade manager isn't showing the next version of Ubuntu :'( Should I change my DNS or IP address ?

I don't know what that Tracked thing is.

I would work to the assumption that you have been compromised or something has broken; have you tried connecting to, say, hotmail.co.uk, or yahoo.ca?

kinda hard when the proxy site your using can't access your e-mails :/ I fear I'm being "investigated" cause I talked about ROM hacking on those sites. They should go after "real" criminals and not just some video game enthusiasts

I seriously doubt it's that, if you were the subject of any kind of surveillance you would not know about it (a sniffer would be run at your ISP or they'd use one of the black boxes) and that kind of stuff doesn't happen to low-profile targets such as yourself.

Take a screenshot of point 3, via a photo of your monitor if no other way. Let us see it.

Malware can be sneaky. It can make it look like you have serious problems with your computer and attempt to get you to buy dodgy services that cost hundreds of dollars to "fix" the problem. Do you get messages telling you that your security has been compromised, or anything like that? The messages may look legit.

I've figured out some of what's going on here.

First of all, google "cookie law" and click news - that's where the tracked icon is coming from.

As for the weird connections, it's background noise or possibly a misconfigured server that script kiddies are abusing mixed with a bit too much paranoia.

Suggestion - just shutdown any network services you don't need.

Well I could provide you guys with some screen shots, but it's going to be a while. Got to wait till everyone's asleep to catch this unusual activity.

And I've tried to connect to the most frequent sites I visit, but the connection always time outs on me, is why I wanted my account closed on here cause the e-mail I used to create it was compromised as well. I can't access any e-mail services without it acting up later.

This same IP address that accesses this other computer on our server also scans my computer everytime I'm on the internet.

Here's the event's from Fire-starter (my firewall):

184.28.251.55 connects to this other computer on my server by a proxy server as well. The three IP addresses keep scanning my computer the whole time I'm on the internet.

I think 184.28.251.55 connects to the "Other" computer on our sever (The other computer being a Microsoft windows OS) and scans my computer when the person who uses the "Other" computer isn't on :/

It's background noise - everyone gets scanned like that when online, personally i'd ignore it.

Well Gareth here's something to interest any Linux user: A scanned result after using rkhunter (root kit hunter) to scan my root directory.

I praise you and nu on your vast knowledge about computers and stuff, but can you tell me what the next step I should take to stop people from logging into my computer using a SSH root login or whatever the f*** this/these a****le's are using to login into my computer ? I'm sorry for the language and the rudeness but I'm a complete noob to when it comes to Linux network security and my Dad isn't always on the Internet 24/7 to see potential risks on our home server, so I'd like to know how I can I stop being a potential risk to our home server, or do you guys know any links to free Linux books on Network security I could download ? free is better as my Dad is struggling to catch up in bills and we're already living on a prayer as it is and we're hoping to survive till the first of June

I don't mean to sound all p*ssed off, but the last 18 TFS (Team Four Star) videos I downloaded, (11-26)from YouTube were stolen beneath my nose the whole time I was on the internet. Now I have to download them again as we speak, and who knows what this a**hole is doing with my IP address as I type this post. Probably telling his friends that I'm an all out sucker for Linux security and that I'm as easy to hack as an idiotic Microsoft user. So if you guys are going to bit** about my last post then consider how you'd feel if you were in my position right now.  
So please forgive me for my language when I say this:

Internet crackers (CRiminal hACKERS) deserve to be a** raped while skinned alive, while someone dumps acid and salt on their bare flesh!   

I do hope their sodo****D in federal prison as they reflect on the cyber crimes they committed for the next 5-15 years spent for being so god**mn STUPID! Sorry Administrators and moderators on here but I'm sure you feel the same way about no good sneaky criminals on the internet   

And P.S. I had to stay up all the f**king night to re-download these videos cause I wanted to do as many as I could before I slept and now I have to re-download them from YouTube.  

No sleep for me as I don't want to get into the "up all righter routine" again  

I really hope that the Cracker who's tracking my moves is seeing this post and is on this site as a guest cause I just want to say this:  you better hope that I or my father don't successfully use a whois tracer on your a** cause I will do so many illegal things to your a** that it'll make the worst Lions-gate horror film look like a Disney movie compare to what I want to do to your kind of sneaky a**es.

Please forgive me D_olson, Nu, Gareth as I had had enought of these criminals and is sleep deprived. Now I have to stay up till at least 8 Pm tonight cause I was doing so well in staying on a daily schedule. If you do end up banning  me cause of the language and violence I wrote in this post then it's for the best for this site. But remember this:

I'M SLEEP DEPRIVED!
