    Okay, so...I went through the READ & RUN ME FIRST process and wasn't having anymore symptoms for a couple days...

    ...until I was working on my second report during my shift overnight. That was when I noticed that 2 things had been changed at the top of the report while I had been typing further down. (I always do a 2nd read-through to make sure I didn't miss anything.)

    My desktop was exhibiting some of the initial symptoms, too, so it might have the same thing. Another thing I forgot to mention in that post was that on some web pages little verticle rectangles with #'s show up--usually above my GMail inbox...but tonight for the first time it showed up on 2 other sites, including under the link for the French version of Wikipedia, so I knew then that it didn't belong.

    Here is the link to my post about my desktop, in case you need that for reference:

    The first set of logs are attached, and I'll attach the MGlogs in the reply. Thanks! Oh, and...the account I work on is so backlogged that overtime has been approved, and this is my backup computer...so with both of my computers out of commission, things are pretty sucky right now.
    :cry

    Your logs are clean.......and I apologize for any rude remarks I may have made.

    As I suggested in the other thread, perhaps you should uninstall Keyscrambler as that seems to be the only common item in both computers.

    Okay. Can you recommend another free program that scrambles typed web passwords? I have had trouble with people breaking into my web accounts, even though I cycle the passwords every time my bank makes me change my password...and I use a different password for every account. I just don't know how much more I can do!

    As far as bad days, I think my response gives an indication that I'm not having very good days, either. You know, this is all fun and games for me.
    :(
    I've been snapping at people, too....I had to restrain myself when I responded to you. :-o

    We called the sheriff's office before going, and the lieutenant told me that this sounded more like a vulnerability more than a targeted hack job, so he recommended taking it to one of the local computer places...so I'm gonna end up spending $60/hr after all. :(
    They try to fix things online, too, but...I think this is the kind of thing we should do in person. We'll see what John and Josh have to say...and there goes my money for next month's health insurance premium...which means I have to ask Dad for money again...and I hate doing that. I've taken so much from my parents already.

    I'll work on the desktop after I eat my "lunch." I just woke up. Did I mention I have severe depression on top of the Asperger syndrome? :-o

    I hope you are not using the same computer to change the passwords. All of the suggestions in the "How to Protect Yourself..." should be more that sufficient to keep you protected. The best advice I can give is to keep nothing on the computer other that your full protection software and the programs you need to do your work.....nothing else.

    If you are transmitting files of a sensitive nature, the you should be encrypting them. If you are transcribing them online, then the online site has to be secure.
