Hi guys,
im using xp home edition.
My partner's facebook and hotmail accounts have had their passwords changed at 3:27 am this morning and it happened a couple of days ago too but we managed to recover them.
Upon checking the ip where the passwords were changed from it gave our ip both times.
i know it would be asked so i'll get it out the way
the computer was off at this time and its the only pc that accesses the internet here as it connects through a modem atm, waiting for a new router.
I'm pretty sure that its some form of virus that has changed the passwords to a pre defined word and then the hacker can use the accounts without giving up their ip? not sure. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, JohnD
