how do i stop someone hacking my accounts?
My ex boyfriend has access to my router and IP and has been logging into all my accounts and changing passwords. How do I prevent this? Is it as simple as changing the Internet provider? I'm really tired of being stalked..please help me..and yes I admit I am pretty noob..just HELP ME lol
don't give out your password
If he lives near you and has access to your computer or knows your passwords then I'd either a) Make sure you are secure everywhere; strong passwords, computer w/ virus and spyware protection, firewall(s)/******* router etc. b) Tell him if he doesn't stop that you are going to pull a Lorena Bobbit on him. lol. Or that you'll get a restraining order against him? Not sure how old you are-- maybe telling his parents will work?
If it comes down to it though if an online scan (for spyware too) and security suite update doesn't remedy the problem I'd say format your computer and do a ***** install. (Save whatever you want to keep, then format) reinstall your security suite and whatever trusted applications .. Then after that just be safe. You don't have to be overly paranoid but just be safe. If you don't browse safely and have some type of antivirus and anti-spyware now a days you are almost asking to get it. Oh, and don't keep your passwords out in the open where everyone can see them. That about cover it?
