Secondly, you might be better off just patching your OS and software so the guy can't break in. You might have re-install Windows and all of your apps, but you would be solving a lot of problems all at once by making your system secure. And even if you do figure out the modem thing, what will prevent the hacker from creating other mischief if you don't close up the security hole that's allowing him into your box in the first place?
By the way, when you say "modem", are we talking about a telephone modem (and not a cable or DSL modem)? And is the hacker coming in through your broadband connection to use your telephone modem? to send spam?
