I have already scanned several times and have come up with nothing.
I changed all logins related to admin.

A few weeks ago I found entries in my firewall to allow 3 IPs
access. I saw them in there once before and deleted them.
This time I block them entirely from access. It seems I've been
playing a cat and mouse game for a while. But I cannot find
the source and a re-install is out of the question. There were
a few other things that happend earlier this year. I don't
know what to do next to try to find the source of this.

Regards,
Fox
