Good morning.

I seem to be having a problem with several of my accounts being accessed over the passed couple of months.

It shows its being accessed through my phone, however I don't even use e-mail on my phone.

Does anyone know a program that will help protect my passwords, and e-mails?

I'm currently using G-Mail, but they aren't showing any activity which is very concerning.

Protect passwords...? Do you mean that someone has got hold of your password(s)? CC has a couple of programmes to help:
Password Wizzard: you can create safe passwords that are impossible to guess, and yuou can change them as often as needed
Website access manager: You can protect sites, or part of sites so that anyone has to log in, with user details that you provide, to get access.
Lockbox: Save all your passwords as in a safe. It needs a master password that you have to set and then use to gain access to whatever other passwords you have there. Make sure you remember that master password, or you will be locked out of the safe!

Regarding emails: I would create a safe password with Password Wizzard, and then change it after a while.

Heya Inger! How's it going? :)

Yes, someone has recently hacked my FB account and gmail account, and no matter how many times I change my password they seem to be capable of recovering it.

Whoever it is has major pull with networking too..

My IP Sniffer came up with more than 200x ip addresses connected to my PC.

They seem to be local, so I don't know yet.. i'm still putting the pieces to that puzzle together..

You need to format your computer ASAP and then change all your passwords again but make sure to use strong password (no abc1234)... ;)

I did a little bit of research on those ip's, yes.. local

AT&T provides you with a router, NVG589 or so, certify it on your PC and as long as you're on their network they can basically do whatever they want.

I'm not implying AT&T has a hand in my unfortunate situation..

But I can't even buy my own Cisco router to change the settings around to better protect myself...

If someone knows how to access those routers, lets say a former AT&T employee, he could network a TV show for the cost of a dime.

Is this the gear you have?

In the article the ip address for the router is mentioned. Maybe you can do some magic in the fire wall.

I also agree with Scott that you should reformat. Whoever is at the other end of those 200+ ip addresses are already playing havoc with your files, stealing more passwords.
