    I had to fill in for another co worker at work the other day. When I logged into her computer her AIM Account showed up and had my profile under her buddy list, but I never received a request from her nor did I ever request her as a buddy. Not only was I on her buddy list but directly above my profile name was another profile, with +10 as the username. When I clicked on the +10 it had her profile picture with her username and MY PASSWORD directly under her username...Does anyone know what this is?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    No I have never heard of this. It actually sounds like someone may have some how obtain your password. Not sure how you are seeing that it was your Password though on the "+10 account" Normally passwords do not show in standard text form. They should be encrypted.

    Do you have leave your PC on and unattended? Does it automatically lock so that no one else can use it? If not, perhaps some one has been using your PC and has managed to acquire your password.
