I've been a long distance friend and email correspondent with a man for nearly four years after briefly meeting him in my city. Two years ago he met a woman through match.com. Although they both tried hard to make their relationship work, they were not very well suited and he chose to end it. Since then, my email has been broken into, my computer has been infiltrated by keystroke (password stealing) programs, and dangerous "backdoor rootkit" programs have invaded my system. I have done all I could to clear these up---I believe the spyware originally entered through a bogus email she sent me using his email address as it had a lot of junk html and other suspicious elements. It seems that she is wildly jealous---she has tried many ploys to get him back. My question is---what can I do to protect myself? (There have been other suspicious activities as well; one of our cars suddenly went completely dry of oil, although there were no leaks and we check the oil regularly.)

AVG is a great computer protector.. update an run a scan.. then go to your account in mail room and change your password.. also change your real address and real name 2 something else..put a password in 2 open your comp.. you will find that in control panel.. if she sends you any mail, highlight her mail and click spam at top.. and i hope others will give you more ideas on how 2 protect your comp from hackers.. have your friend send you mail with him using a different account, might help.. install cameras outside your home, 2 catch her activity on your car and home..also have motion lights outside.. scary 4 sure not knowing when and what she will do next..

When you enter into a relationship dealing with an ex is part of it almost always... Change computers or start over with the one you have clean out the hard drive..I am not 100% positive but when i ran keystroke on my PC it was only able to be run on the PC it was installed on so either she has been in your house or someone is lieing to you about how it got there..Women usually only act that crazy if you were or she considered you to be the other woman the reason he is no longer with her.. change emails and avoid any email from her... Good Luck

OMG that's crazy schitt. Contact your local police and tell them you need an investigation to see if she's behind this. Her malicious behavior can be traced via the authorities. Just be clear & sensible with the police, so they take you seriously.
Nothing beats a good guard dog and some pepper spray. Keep some handy always. Monitor your place for peace of mind and put irons on your basement windows and lock the basement door to the house. Ask your local detectives to go thru your home and make sure it's as safe as possible.

Sadly, if someone wants to get you, there are too many ways to do so, so be careful, even at work or in your car, errands, etc. That broad needs help. One other thing, are you sure it's her and not him blaming her? Good luck.

That's so crazy s***!
If I were you I would get a brand new computer and email address.
As for damage and strange things happening to your car, I would report it to thee police along with her name and address, and why you think it may be her. Get a restraining order, just in case
Be careful, and good luck
