l asked:


Ok… well… it seems that my brother has figured out how to get into my stuff.

I am not sure which of the following he can do but i know he can do at least one of them

Read my IMs
Get into my files (fixing this by installing TC)
See what websites i’m on.
Read my IRC chat

…something…

Where as… i don’t really have anything bad that I’m doing, i certainly DO have personal things, and conversations. I don’t want him in anything of mine.

we have ATT for our internet service provider. (we both have the password and can change settings and such)
We have different computers, he has XP, and i have vista home.

He has been figuring out how to get into things sense he first got his hands on a win 98 computer… . Don’t rule something out because it sounds like it may be too hard… Though… don’t be ridiculous… he’s not CIA FBI Level xD

i don’t know how he’s doing it, but any advise or suggestion on how to get it to stop would be GREATLY appreciated.
He has not had access to my computer, from what i know…

I always lock it when i leave it alone.

    He may have installed a keylogger, this would give him all your passwords, and then he could check all chat logs, IM’s, etc. Some are undetectable, but most are not. Check services.msc, if there is a poll.exe, most likely there is a keylogger installed on your PC.
