it *does* happen, ya know...
Do NOT change ("fix") anything. Just use a different machine or
take a couple days off from personal correspondence.
Get someone who knows what they are doing before you start running
cleaners ect. A simple packet sniffer will log all the traffic and
it only takes modest skills to document and trace the traffic.
Better yet.
If you've been hit up for money and you can document it...
contact the FBI number in your phone book. Yes it's the government
but one of the things they are starting to do very effectively is
track down scum magnets like the bimbette that has you bracketed.
also. change your usenet handle so it cannot be so easily tracked
through a Google (groups) search and you 'friend' won't find out you
are on to her...
...and don't open any email attachments from unknown (trusted!)
sources.
Just do it.
best, men
