I get home today and my PC has rebooted. When I left it was on but not doing anything. No updates were performed for MS so that wasn't the cause. After logging in my McAfee personal firewall thingy popped up with over a 100 items since 11 am this morning ending at 1 pm.

They were all from cds236.lad.linw.net trying to access various ports, use various authorities, and so on.

So I ask you, do you think this is a hacker attempt.
This combination is very suspicious. If he managed to install something on your system the first thing he'd do is reboot to get it loaded into the OS. I'd run scans with all the virus and spyware checkers you've got and be very suspicious of the machine for a while. Watch all your network activity closely.
