My computer is really playing up, freezing and behaving erratically. I have a virus and spyware scanner and preventer called CyberDefender. It has picked up and gotten rid of loads of viruses and spyware infections. It has also listed where the threats are targeted. It looks like somebody is after my paypal bank account details and i'm getting worried. What would be the best way to protect against these hackers?

My sister has teen-aged sons and younger children. When she is not aware they go online, download music, etc which has caused her lots of problems, pop-ups, etc. She had to have her pc cleaned. How can she a password on her pc which will prevent anyone from even using her pc without her permission/entry of password? She has a Sony Vaio 5400. She doesn't know a lot about computers, but she remembers that she did, at one time, have two passwords, one that would not allow access to the system and one that would not allow access to the internet without her entering the password. Once she had it cleaned, there were no passwords required.

I am extremely careful aobut personal info, but now my last four of my SSN pops up when I try to put numbers on a pop-up for verification (like zip code), it shows my last four of my SSN as a choice. This should only show as an option if my SSN was added with my keyboard on my computer, Right?

I was watching an episode of "Law and Order" where a man cyber-stalked a woman by giving her PC a virus that allowed him to actually watch what she was doing on her PC in real time. There was another virus (on another L&O episode) that allowed the hacker to access another person's email. What kind of virus is that and what kinds of devices protect against it? Where are people getting this kind of stuff?!

And for you super savvy computer people: are Macs as vulnerable as PCs?

I'm going through a some issues with a very strange Ex-husband who lives on his computer. I have changed my IP provider and email, but I would like to find a way to be as protected as possible. Thanks!
