Answer 1

Try to create a STRONG password.

1. Your password should be at least 10 characters long. The longer the password the more difficult it will be to crack.

2. You should try to include numbers, letters and symbols. However under no circumstances use sequential values (such as 123456, abcdef or sequential keyboard keys such as asdfgh). Another thing to avoid is using a repeating character (such as 777777). It is never a good idea to use a common word and simply replace a letter. For example, �ameri7a� is not a sound idea. These tricks are well known to hackers.

3. Try to make your password easy to remember, but at the same time difficult for others to guess. Stay away from your birthday, partner�s or child�s name or user name. Also stay away from words found in any dictionary. There are tools that will check each and every word (and variations of each word, such as spelling it backwards). This is referred to as a "brute force attack".

If you look at the top of your screen you will see: File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help. Press on the View then press History. After you do this on the left side of your screen will show every website and icon you have been on for that day, the day before and the week before. If you see something/things on there that you haven't gone to. Then right click on one them and it will give options on whether you want to see what time or any other information. Usually if you left click on it the screen itself will pop up and beside the icon you clicked will tell what user was actually on there. I don't know if you have more than one user on your computer or not. If you do then you will need to know their user name/code, because it could just be one of them. If a user pops up that isn't on your screen then someone is most likely using your password and id #. If you share your computer with others in the home and they are on your screen, then of course then using your password and id#, that is the only way they can get on the internet.

Answer 3

It sounds like you might have a keylogger on your computer.I suggest you run a scan with your anti virus software.When you change your password next time,enter the new one with your desktop keyboard.You can find this by going into START-ALL PROGRAMS-ACCESSORIES-ACCESSIBILITY-ON SCREEN KEYBOARD.By doing this,if you do have a keylogger then it will only record mouse clicks and not letters and numbers.

Are you sure you are not just being paranoid.
