Is this true?

Answer 1

There are several ways he can do this, its all harassment and illegal.
You need to see both the police and your lawyer about it and soon. Try to get some evidence to show them if you can, but make the complaint and make sure it gets logged.

OK, here we go;
First, you need to log in and go to Start - control panel - user accounts.
Set up a new limited account.
Set a password on your administrator account.
Put a password on the limited account and use this to access the internet, NOT your admin account.

Next, install a firewall; run AVG anti spyware, Spybot Search and Destroy and an anti virus in Safe Mode.
There's probably a keylogger on your pc. Hopefully one opf these programs will find and remove it.

Next, change all your passwords.
Give the kids the password to the limited account but NOT your admin account.
And finally, set a password on Safe Mode;

Don't lose it and don't give it to your kids.

Don't be angry, but talk calmly to your kids and explain that from now on they cannot install software without you checking it first because there h ave been some viruses found on your pc. It may be that Dad is giving the kids 'free software' and thats how he's got the keystroke logger on there.
Here's the software to remove the logger and prevent future attacks;

Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for personal use;

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR
http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo security suite.

You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.

And these are useful utilities;
http://www.mozilla.com/ - Firefox web browser.
http://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.

Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

http://www.siteadvisor.com -MacAffee Site Advisor warns about malware on sites you are about to visit.

http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm - The Spyware Warrior site identifies fake anti spyware programs.
https://www.grc.com - Shields Up security site, check your firewall works.

Remember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week.

As for your e-mail and myspace, contact your provider and explain the problem, you may have to give details and answer security questions; but set up new accounts and use a nickname.
And pick your passwords carefully so they can't be guessed.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

I seriously doubt that there is a website out there that can do that. First it would be highly illegal as it is hacking and second if someone hacked into something important say the Federal Mint then our entire couuntry would be screwed. So I have reservations about it. My question is are you sure he has "hacked" you because hacking takes alot of knowledge about computer code and programming. If you use WinXP then your computer could simply be inputting the passwords in automayically. All he would need is the user name for the site and the password would be put in by your PC. Turn off the auto insert feature. Open up Internet Explorer. Go to Tools>Internet Options Under browsing history click delete and under passwords click delete passwords. Next time you go to an internet site the auto insert prompt will come up select no and then check the box do not ask this again. That will keep him from getting in and it should keep him out.

Answer 3

Step 1) Change both your passwords
Step 2) Conact the police and file a report. You need to start establishing his pattern of his behavior.
Step 3) Seek legal advice if he bothers you again.

There is no "site" that shows all your passwords. However, there are keyloggers and other spyware that he could have installed on your computer to steal your passwords.

Run the following on your PC:

Panda ActiveScan – Free online antivirus to combat viruses, spyware and other Internet threats:

Answer 4

He might have installed a keystroke logger on your computer. I don't know if these are crimes in your state or not. Even if they are, chances are there's a huge backlog on computer crimes, and a couple fighting is not going to be high on their priority list. If he takes you to court, make it very clear how he got the information. In the meantime, don't do anything to give him information to use against you. What have you got on myspace and Yahoo that is so bad it could lose you the custody of your children???

Answer 5

Call the police

Answer 6

I can not think of anything that bad in your my space that would cause you to loose your kids. I would call the cops he is breaking the law but you may have to prove that it was him that did it. can you get him to say it and tape the conversation of to e-mail you that he did it

Answer 7

Change your password, or get another myspace identity (clue: don't use your own name)

Answer 8

I dont know but report him to the police
