My Son has figured out how to get into my E-mail....?

Question

I have changed passwords,
Opened new accounts,
and yet he still is getting to it..
How is he doing this?

HEY BRON MOO-my son is 17 years old

Answer 1

He probably put a keylogger program on the computer. Everything you type is given to him in a report. You change the password and the keylogger tells him the password. Keylogger programs can be aquired free at any of the dowload sites. Here are some at Snapfiles.com

http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwaccessmonitoring.html

Follow this procedure and run the program to locate any keylogger he might have installed.

Trojan Removal Procedure.

Malware is a general word for all form of Viruses, Spyware etc. This procedure works for all Malware. Replace the Ewido program with the appropriate program.

You might be unable to access the Internet after removing the Malware so you will need to run LSPfix or Winsockxpfix (as appropriate). Download one and save to desktop, run it later.

LSPfix: all Windows OS except 95.

http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Winsock XP Fix: Windows XP only.

http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html



Download and Update Ewido (now called the AVG Antispyware):

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/


-- If you have problems updating see here:

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/

Once the updates are installed do the following:



Let's get cleaning

Part 1

• Temporarily show hidden files.

For Windows XP:

1.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2.
Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.

3.
On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files and folders", and clear(uncheck) the "Hide protected operating system files" check box.



For older systems:

1.
Double-click My Computer, click View, and then click Folder Options.

2.
On the View tab, under "Hidden files and folders", click "Show hidden files and folders", and clear (uncheck) the "Hide protected operating system files" check box.


IMPORTANT: Files are hidden by Windows for a very good reason. It is not wise to experiment with these files. Unfortunately, to successfully remove modern spyware we must turn this protection off temporarily. Please turn the protection back on when you have finished cleaning your system.


Empty your Internet Explorer cache and your other temporary file folders:

1.
On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.

2.
On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button. This will delete all the files that are currently stored in your cache.

3.
Select the Delete all offline content check box in the confirmation dialogue box that appears, click OK.

4.
Click OK again.

Restart in Safe Mode:

To do this you need to hold down or repeatedly tap the F8 key while the computer is booting (when the computer is displaying a black screen with white text). When the boot menu appears, use your keyboard arrows to select "Safe Mode."

Safe Mode can look quite ugly. The color may look bad, and all of your desktop icons will be very large. This is normal.



Start Scan and let Ewido scan the PC


When the scan and removal are completed REBOOT COMPUTER. This will restart you in normal mode.

If you are unable to access the Internet after removing Malware you will need to run LSPfix or Winsockxpfix (as appropriate).


If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and are unable to access the Internet after removing Malware, there is a command that may fix the problem, removing the need to run Winsockxpfix. It works by resetting the winsock catalogue. Click on Start, then Run and type CMD in the dialogue box that appears. Click OK. Type "netsh winsock reset" (no quotes)into the DOS window that appears.


The last steps

If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, and your computer has been successfully cleaned of Malware, there is one more thing that needs to be done.

Delete any old restore points and then create a new restore one. The old ones may, of course, be infected with the Malware and cannot be used.

First, start and then stop the Restore Service. This is done differently depending on what operating system you are running.

Windows XP:

1.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

2.
Click Performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click on the System Restore tab.

3.
Select the Turn Off System Restore check box, click Apply, then restart your computer.

4.
Return to the System Restore Tab and turn System Restore back on.


Windows ME:

1.
Click Start, click Control Panel, click System.

2.
Click Performance, click File System, and then click Troubleshooting.

3.
Enable the option Disable System Restore, click Apply then restart your computer.

4.
Return to the Troubleshooting tab and turn System Restore back on.


To set a manual restore point complete the following steps:

1.
Click the Start button.

2.
Point to Programs, then navigate to Accessories, then System Tools, then click System Restore.

3.
Choose Create a restore point, and then click Next.

4.
In the Restore point description box, type a name for your restore point, and then click Next.

5.
Click OK.

He can use a procedure like the one at this site and change your admin password. This is just one site. There are many others on the net.

Answer 2

Must be a keylogger. What u shud do is password protect yur computer as a whole so he cant use it in the first place. btw... have u changed yur secret question in yur e-mail accounts? Pretend u are trying to get into someone e-mail address. Chooze the forget password feature and see what avenues he may have taken. Also, make sure u are not saving yur passwords on the computer. example a popup may ask u if u wud like yur password saved. say no. Go in internet options in the control panel. Under the general tab, click delete cookies, history and temporary internet files. Then go thru each tab and click restore defaults then apply. Then restart yur computer. Laterz

Answer 3

definately a keylogger. This may be invisible to you. you (he) can set a series of key strokes to make this become visible or invisible. How old is he? I would confront him, tell him you know whats up. Make him remove this thing, then revoke his computer use privileges. Take the keyboard away when your not there, or put a new password in the computer for startup. If he cant get it started then he cant do anything at all with it.

Answer 4

If he has some mature male function fashions in his existence, they could do the speaking. In my thoughts, he's doing what any typical 15 365 days old boy does...he's exploring. it quite is basically that back interior the day it replaced into magazines. Now, it quite is the internet. Have the function fashions clarify to him the bits and bobs of each and every little thing from the "birds and the bees" to what turning out to be a guy is all approximately. perhaps they might even talk relating to the struggles of parenthood. extra suitable yet, set him as much as journey...perhaps with a spur of the 2nd emergency babysitting gig? All i understand is that it may esculate rapid from finding to touching, besides the indisputable fact that it quite is a typical technique. I recommend, you have been 15. do no longer you bear in mind? no longer a newborn, no longer particularly an person. it is going to likely be solid for him to appreciate he has somebody to speak to that isn't choose him for what he has to declare/do.

Answer 5

He installed a Keylogger on your computer. So here is how you get him back.... TAKE THE KEYBOARD away. He knows the password to the Keylogger and you can't uninstall it. FORCE him to uninstall it. (Holding that keyboard will do the trick)

Take him to the Department of Family Services and ask if they provide counseling. Or just drop him off.
