eek NEW HACKER possibly using open DFX Ports

I was hacked 6 times in the last week and a half. The last 5 times was while I was online hosting DFX. He got past my "The Shield Deluxe 2008", Ad-aware, and the new Sevice Pack 3 for XP. Even when I ran my Virus Protector and Ad-aware three times each they could find nothing; even tho Windows was warning me that I had been hacked, and my IP and passwords were stolen. On a HUNCH I reinstalled SpyBot which I used to use years ago, and behold, it found a Win32 Trojan and four associated malware.

He uses a fake Google Search Window to cover his activity. After the first time, I reformatted the hard drive, NOT REINSTALLING GOOGLE, and put a new password on the Administrator. STILL a few days later when I was online hosting DFX; he was back to trying to hack me, as I noticed a Google Search Window opening, WHICH I did not reinstall. Four more times that happened, as I tried to close that window as fast as it opened, and my Shield 2008 said I was "Well Protected". Each time Spybot would find the malware. Then I decided I had better change the Administrator Password again, as he may have stolen passwords again. TO MY SHOCK he had apparently shut my password off and actually had the GALL to create his own User Account on my PC with a password.

I have Reported his activity to the authorities, my ISP, and to NovaLogic. So I hope he soon hears the "Bad Boys" tune at his door.

As I can no longer trust "The Shield Deluxe 2008" to protect me, what Internet Security Software would you recommend that will allow me to HOST DFX and DFLW, yet protect me from hackers?
