My computer is clean and protected.

how can you be so sure ??

Quote:

---

I checked PC for all possible network vulnerabilities and made a full virus check.
All is clean.

---

virus check is NOT a trojan check, did you even read the EDIT to my last post ??

---

I use Tiny Personal Firewall as I mentioned before,
the same is used by the US Air Force.

---

It MAY be used by the USAF, BUT it is also OPERATED by USAF techies
are you now saying that YOU are a techie ??
I'm fairly confident that MY system is clear, but there is NO way I'd put money on it, as I am online now, and someone COULD have bypassed all [and there's a LOT] of my security, and even now be emptying my bank account [wouldn't take long]

So:
I say again .......

Have you ran SPECIFIC anti TROJAN soft ware ???

I like swattit
try it, you MIGHT thank me ..........
but you wont know until you run it ............

Of course I was curious and I clisked the link, I got redirected to the paid saying something like "we are sorry, your session is expired" and I had to "make login" into my e-mail box once again inserting my password.

But he even didn't know my family name until he got access to my AmericanSingles account.

Well, at least we know how that happened?........................the website was a fraud and you keyed your Americansingles password into it :eek:

Try these:

http://www.ewido.net/en/

http://www.emisoft.com/en/software/free/

Download them, install and update, then:

REBOOT INTO SAFE MODE and run them.

Update your antivirus, and run that in SAFE MODE as well.

Then change all your passwords AND THE PROMPT INFORMATION for if you forget them.

If it still happens, your computer is "owned" and you should save any important documents, reformat and reinstall.

Absolutely agree
...
I don't have reasons to suspect that he has access to my PC.
Even more, if he is soooo mad with me, why woudn't he mess up with my PC?

I don't use password prompts and I never ever check "remember my password" and I never ever write down my passwords...

But yet, of course, I will follow the advices and check up the system again

If you think that: http://www.symantec.com/securitycheck/

Is a full and comprehensive security check of your system you are mistaken. It can take hours or longer to check a system, not the few minutes it takes for that scan. It has one objective, encourage you to purchase there software.

Your system may well be clean, but in this situation you just can not be sure. There are rootkits, keyloggers, trojans, etc, that can and do, go undetected without using specialist software and knowlege.

Your software firewall can be bypassed quite easily with the correct knowledge.

sure
BUT
It looks like the initial post has been forgotten here ...
Even if my computer is infected I have no any signs that abusing me guy uses my PC's vulnerabilities

but pictures in profiles are mine

He also has your true name.

There is only two ways this info can be gleaned.

1. Physical theft.

This means stolen from you directly or indirectly. As your picturse are involved, this means access to your property or the shop that developed them.

You nead to be very worried if this is the case.

2. Theft of digital information.

This means your computer is compromised or the website you host your pictures on is. Yes there is a way to steel digital information without hacking/trojaning,etc (see 1 above)

If all this is cyberharrasment you have not alot to be worried.

If you wanted to mess with someone, would you rather tear up their computer once, or screw up their lives for a good while?

Then there's one way he got it - you got trojaned.

Now it's time for a story:

A long time ago there was this hacker guy who wanted to really screw over someone who'd angered him. He had physical access to this person's computer at the office for a brief time each day. During the time he had access to the system he planted a keylogger and gleaned the person's passwords, credit card numbers, personal emails, the works. He used this information to completely ruin the person's life. He went down and got several credit cards in the person's name, as well as using her current cards, and ran up a rediculously huge debt on that person. He wrote 'mystery letters' to the victim's spouse pretending to be having an affair with the victim and 'coming clean' over it. He remotely logged to the victim's system and destroyed valuable company files under the access which only the victim was supposed to know. After discovering the victim's home information and accesses, he posted private sexual pictures of the victim's spouse all over the web and via irc, as well as turning off the victim's phone, cable, gas, cell phone, isp, car insurance, trash service, and newspaper service at random intervals by calling the various companies and pretending to be the victim. When the debt letters started rolling in from the credit card companies he'd fraudulently taken out accounts with, he mailed copies of these 'dun' letters to the victim's bank, where the victim was in the process of trying to finance both a car and a house. He also informed the local police (anonymously, of course) of the kiddie porn that he'd "found" (planted) on the victim's home computer. End result: The victim went to jail for 15 years for kiddie porn, lost their spouse, kids, and most of their valued possessions, all due to one trojan used by someone who knew what they were doing.

Now I'm neither the hacker nor the victim of this story, but I told it to you to ask you again, why screw with your computer when I could screw with your life instead? I guard against this kind of crap every single day and I'm just a private user. Why do you want to argue with the guys who do this same guarding professionally?

My real profie on AmericanSinges had my real name. So far as I was so kind to provide him with profile's pssword...
My personal page has plenty of my pictures. Anybody can open that page and save photos on his PC.
I didn't develope pictures in the shop, they were taken by digital camera. I am talking only about digital pictures.
