Hi

There are various tools that enable those intruders to get access to your computer.

Tell you what, the safest computers are those that are not connected to the internet or shall we say a stand alone computer with no networks.

One way why intruders get into your system is through Telnet.

This is accessible to windows users via command prompt or run by typing Telnet.

I will not provide details on how, but this is one of the tools they are using.

Another email, or website and attachments that contain malicious programs or through remote desktop.
