Anyways, change your password, since if they can get your pass so quick, is as one person said above, a Keylogger. Change your password from another computer, and do not sign in in yours, format or try to get an antispyware or some good stuff. Spybot (Search and Destroy) works charms. | ||

I personally think it is a keylogger as well, but a neighbour snooping on your wireless connection is another possibility. | ||

i'll try the linux thing then if it fails i'll reformat. I am not on wireless though, and even if i were there's only a bunch of old ladies as my neighboors so i doubt it would be them. Anyway, thanx for the help. Mods may close this if they see it fit | ||

If there is no encryption on a wireless connection (excluding WEP, since it is broken and is probably next to useless), then literally anyone within wireless range can see everything you send and receive online, in plain text, including passwords (unless you're using SSL, i.e. https). I personally think it is a keylogger as well, but a neighbour snooping on your wireless connection is another possibility. It's why you use WPA2, WEP can be cracked by just about anyone with a quick Internet search esp if they run mac or Linux wpa2 at least will take them much longer to crack not just 10 mins and a courisoity. | ||
