Re: I keep getting hacked

I think you either have:
a) a very weak password which someone just guesses
b) a virus/Trojan on your computer than is capturing your password and sending it to an attacker
c) a bad memory and are actually just forgetting your password.

Re: I keep getting hacked

Hmm... Having had a quick look at the other posts made, particularly this one http://www.vistax64.com/network-inte...l-youtube.html, it looks highly likely that you have some form of malware on your system.
Make sure that your AV is upto date and is active. If you haven't already done so, download and install Spybot Search & Destroy The home of Spybot-S&D! and Ad-aware Ad-Aware @ Lavasoft - The Original Anti-Spyware Company - Lavasoft Ensure that you have the latest updates and then scan with each application. Please let us know the results of the scans.

I used to have the adware you mentioned and it was great!

However, I don't know where it went to!!! But it surely worked for me!!
