I don't know how something like this can possibly happen, but I opened up IE, which I don't use unless I absolutely have to, and typed in my email host website, clicked on the email icon, and I get....my stepfather's email box....and they live in Florida. I have auto sign in, so I didn't log in or anything. I don't even get email from him, maybe one from my mother sent from his box to one of my other email accts. How can something like this happen. Like I had remote access to his email box/desktop?????? I don't even have remote access software. I'm scanning my computer now, it's found 1 infected file so far. For most everything I use mozzila. Anyone have any idea why this happened?? It's very freaky. His email was his right down to the background graphics (I called him to give him a heads up). Now I'm nervous because I HAVE to use IE for my online bank account (really pisses me off)....Help anyone??? :confused:
 
Hmmm

That's indeed kinda weird. The only logical thing is that your step-dad is the hacker :))))). I am sorry for this comment but to me that seems like the most likely. You probably had a trojan installed allowing for remote access or the remote desktop feature on your PC turned on. You better watch it. In the meanwhile try not to use any browser for accessing your bank account.

JAN :D
 
Use a trojan detector to remove it, and for maximum security format your drive and use firewall if dont have one.
