Okay. My sister-in-law (CRAZY) has a boyfriend who knows computers well. I will be signed into my yahoo & it will sign me off saying it has been signed in from another location!!

I KNOW its them. They are sloppy in conversation & let things slip they shouldnt know.

Anyways, they also know my myspace, which I could care less.

How can I prove they are hacking into my yahoo. They also sent me 2 computer viruses. I am looking at my computer network and I have something on there called: WAN (PPP/SLIP) interface also the local area connection.

Is this normal. Can you help me? Thank you very much in advance.
 
Change your password and disable the option for it to remember your password ( so you have to enter it in every time ).
Do you let them get on your computer??

I cant help you with the WAN thing, not that far into networking yet
 
As i said, change your password and disable that function. You sure its not a friend? Have you ever signed into yahoo at a friends house? or another computer besides your own in general??

If worse comes to worse, new screen name...

Edit:

By any chance, are you signed in yahoo on your phone??
 
Nope. I work from home. There is no way. I also never give my info out. I keep changing my password. I have emailed yahoo so I can change my security question. Also, my phone in not signed into yahoo. I know is doing it. I just want proof so I can confront them.
 
You dont happen to be signed into MSN instant messenger with that same screen name do you? Because that can cause a conflict as well. You sound paranoid, if they sent you a "computer virus" you could detect it on a simple virus scan with Avast or AVG...
 
No I do not use msn. I am paranoid because they keep doing it. They sent me 2 viruses and I had to get it fixed at the computer shop. It was the same exact virus both times. I just want some kind of proof that I can say, see you did it. Ya know? I mean I KNOW they are doing it, I just need proof. I wish I was smart in computers.

I work from home and type up medical documents. They are hacking into my yahoo name that I use for work.
 
Change your password, thats all you have to do. Unless they are somehow connected to your computer. Go into add/remove programs and look for any suspicious software.
 
Also change your password question. If they know your email and do a password recovery and they know the answer to your personal question they can easily reset your password.
 
Also, as I said before. If you dont want to be getting viruses, get at least a decent free a/v such as avira if you arent already. If you already have a/v, what antivirus solution are you using?

I believe the only way they could then get your password is if they are chatting with you on yahoo. They then can run a program (Virus) that will retrieve your password. So simple-est way to avoid them getting your password is dont chat with them.

Well, only if you run Windows. You run any version of *nix and kernel access requires authentication.

I was also hinting at that I think that system level processes in Vista and Win7 need to run as admin, unless you turned the security center off. So, if you send someone a malicious file that wants to access the System32 folder or what not, it still needs to be approved.
