  1. 1. Scan for keystroke loggers.  Try Adaware first.  It's free.  Also check the cable for the keyboard to make sure there aren't any extra devices between the keyboard and the computer.  Some loggers are software, some are hardware.

    2. Use a 15-character password with spaces, symbols and numbers.  Most password crackers (like l0phtcrack) give up at 14 characters.

    3. If you have a wireless keyboard - get rid of it.


  2. Are you getting emails asking you to verify your info & password? DONT FILL THOSE OUT! That is how you keep getting hacked. Or you have spyware & need to run spybot/ad-aware.

  3. you need to reformat an come up with a new password with ONLY you know an get a antivirus software updaye an anti spy/bot scanner.MAKE sure your firewall software is current with all updates

  4. change ur password

  5. Use a stronger password and scan your PC for trojan's.

    Trend Micro online scanner should work fine

  6. You probably have a trojan/keylogger on your computer. Search google and remove it.
