| My X is threatening to access my hotmail!!!!!! Posted: 5/25/2008 6:42:57 AM | go to bleepingcomputer.com down load hijack this and then go back to the forums on bleeping computer.com read the instructions on how to use the program (forum users will help you as long as you read the innical instrucitons) it will 100% get rid of any malware key loggets etc on any computer. you'll then want to secure your network by going in to your router commonly 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.1 running the set up adding a "mac" filter by adding your mother board's lan mac address printed on the board. as well as a Hex or higher encription on wireless routers
these steps will stop any non-hacker type from getting in to your system.
other steps you may want to do are use AVG antivirus and internet security use only uptodate browsers ie Firefox sefari etc
or simply purchace a mac LOL gets window's users everytime!
it's sad that people do such things! | |

| only from a legal standpoint Posted: 5/28/2008 2:00:57 PM | | you are viewed as responsible for your username and password for the account so change the password and keep it secret.... if something happens to it contact hotmail and let them know what your boyfriend threatened to do (it is possible to hijack an account, but they would have to use spy software to do so) (to catch them using spy software you would have to hire an investigator with antihacker knowledge to catch that person and it is costly) | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 7:39:58 PM | | It can be done 2 ways some one who has alot of programming knowledge or a program called a keylogger which records the stroked you type in, but anti-virus should usually detect such a program unless told to accept it. | |

If you two shared a computer together he could have installed one of those monitoring software programs similar to programs that parents use to monitor their kids online activities such as Netnanny.
So it could easily be a program similar to that where everything you are doing on that computer is being sent to his email address so that way he can monitor and see what you type and what sites you visit.
He could also somehow hacking into your IP address and other methods. I would suggest you get Spyware terminator get spyware and trojans off your computer and also you can see what unknown programs maybe on your computer that you can't see with windows explorer and other programs. | |
