As long as the file transfers are rejected, he's impotent, which is most likely the case rejected or not. I bet he gets rejected a lot - it would explain all that time on his hands.

Precisely. While it is possible that someone may be able to gain access to your computer, the chances of it are extremely slim, even if they are speaking directly to you through IM. Most likely you have a firewall (or two) protecting your computer without requiring any input or setup from you. Without you running a "backdoor" program, like the ones he tried to send you, he'd have very little chance of getting in, especially in the short timeframe you noted. It sounds more like some jerk trying to look "cool" and cause a disturbance in our community.
