Recently I noticed whenever my machine was connected to the internet it would start sending as much data as it could. After I noticed this I switched off the router it was behind and started poking around the registry and my software firewall. I noticed that my Norton Personal Firewall had had an administrator password set on it. I always set OS level passwords, but I never use application passwords. Also, I use the NT style logon for XP. I was not even able to enable the firewall (it had been disabled) because of the password. I'm not sure what would have caused this and it has driven me to a new level of paranoia. Hopefully it was spyware or an update I missed. I keep my Norton AntiVirus up to date automatically and do Windows updates every week or so. I of course totally reformatted and wiped that drive and now I am up and running like normal. Does anyone know anything that could have caused this, for example, any kind of popular malware? This is another reason I use my Apple running OS X 10.3 for anything financial or extremely private.
