Hi Leo,
I recieved an e-mail where I was selling something on online (Craiglist). By stupid of my part (sorry for the word)I gave the person my address and name. After I did that I noticed that it was an Scam. What the person can do with my name and address?
thank you for your advise.

Does a police officer or police dept. have access to hack into someone's computer?

Depends on where you live, but in short: yes, if they have evidence that a crime has been committed, and they get an order from the court.

I would like to know if there is anyway to check my laptop to know if has a worm or something inside that allows somebody else outside there to receive all the moves I do in my laptop.
There is a very small window that appears and dissapears at the bottom of my machine, where the bar of programs is and shows the applications that are open. This small window that shows and then disappear began to appear like 6 months ago and I am thinking that somebody installed, through an email I received, some kind of application that hacks my emails and also my internet moves.
Is it possible that Norton Antivirus can capture that worm?
Thank you.

Can a hacker steal any files from my computer?

Depends entirely on how secure you are. If you've done nothing for security then the answer is absolutely yes. See this article: Internet Safety: How do I keep my computer safe on the internet?

Should I close my e mail before I go out surfing on the net, or does it matter one way or the other?

I don't. :-)

I'd like to copy and paste things from my Word docs. to, per example - a blog, but am wondering how safe my clipboard is. Can you tell me how attainable the info. saved to my clipboard may be? How much protection is needed?

The clipboard is visible to any program running on your machine. Standard "make sure you're scanning for spyware and viruses" rules apply.
