Winston

I am a member of excite chat/virtual places..I go to 50 Plus-1 chat room..I wish to change my ISP {Internet Service Provider #}..Internet Exployer!! Each time I enter this room regardless what name I use people know me by this #!! I have had terrorist threats, called every vulgar name you could possibly imagine, and threats to fry my computer, also someone does mess with my computer at times by booting, and a ringing in my box and screen freezing. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS? THIS IS VERY SCARY!!! All this was started by one individual and spread by her actions!
