My daughter has forgotten her Windows (XP) password and now can't get into her computer. Is there a way of recovering the password, resetting it, or getting into the machine any other way?

Since Sep28, my downloads page shows me that I have downloading stuff of around 50-60 MB everyday, while the only thing I have downloaded in this period is a 25MB VistaInspirat theme(the antivirus and antispyware update files are hardly 0.5-1 MB). My computer is also acting weirdly, sometimes I am typing a website in the URL box and the cursor jumps to the Yahoo toolbar all by itself the next moment! Also, the current browser window on which I am working on is suddenly vanishing by itself and the other browser window is popping up. I am sure that my computer is not infected with virus or spyware, because I have a powerful security and I have done many online scans. I also have ZoneAlarm firewall. Please help. is there any way to change that IP address or block anyone out, I dunno anything about it so I require details. Is there anyway to know if my computer is being hacked? Plz help me. How can i prevent this from happening again?

Thanks a lot!

I have my own Symantec Client Firewall and AntiVirus systems and both are enabled (showed on the right bottem corner).
As I know, Windows Security Alert should recognized them and it will shows both firewall and antivirus are enabled under the window security alert system. ( it was like that before).
Today, for some unknown reason, the computer shows " windows security alert" on the right botton corner and states both firewall and anitvirus are disabled , but I also see the symbols which represent firewall and antivirus are enabled.
Then, I go to "windows security alert " to put a check mark on " I have my own firewall and antivirus progrm" , the security alert can go away.....however, when I shut down and open computer agin, the alert comes back...so are they enable? or disable?
Please tell me what to do? Thank you everyone!!

I have a wireless router so i can use the internet on my laptop. I have a program called surveillance pro and this morning i went onto the SSPRO and it says i accessed porn and also played my childs computer game when it definitely wasn't me or my husband and it couldn't have been my 3 year old. It didn't show any of this on the history(the history wasnt deleted). We just installed the wireless router a few days ago and this only started happening since then. Is it someone hacking into our computer?

I hear lots of clicks when I'm online -- even while just reading e-mail. Just wondering what, if anything, the clicks represent.

I've been talking to a guy online (he's 16, I'm 15, and I only know him through a online forum, now AIM) for a week or so now, he really wants to swap phone numbers. I'd give him my cell phone number, what dangers are there in doing this?
