First, run SUPERAntiSpyware. Then run Root Kit Revealer ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/RootkitRevealer.mspx ) If neither of those work then dump Microsoft Windows straight away and switch to a Linux LiveCD, such as Sabayon or Knoppix.
Whilst running Linux (which is secure and 100% protected against Windows malware), try connecting again and changing the password. If the other person still gets the new password, then the sniffing is happening downstream.

Turn off system restore, boot in safe mode and run AVG anti spyware. It sounds like you have a keylogger.
You need to switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore. Click the link on the left, follow the instructions.
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.
You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5 - AVG anti spyware
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.
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.

Someone has realtime access to the PC. Either there is a keylogging trojan installed and you need to run a good anti-malware program (see below) or you're using Wifi and someone nearby is listening in. If this is the case you need to set up the advanced security options and probably need help from a trusted local expert. In any case try a scan for malware first with several programs as not every one catches everything.
