Administrator password hacked by virus?

I have a Windows XP computer running a mix of Avast anti-virus, adware se personal, spybot S%26D, and I got hit with a password switchover Avast scan did not pickup anything. I get locked out of the computer when screensaver kicks in.

I am able to get in after the computer has been off for a while and QUIKLY enter the original password as a one shot deal.

However It will not let me change the password claiming that the original password is not the password that is in use. What do I do I am the computer security administrator. Also a phony limited account was also created that did not show up in the welcome screen I deleted it but as for wether it is still there or not I do not know.

Administrator password hacked by virus?internet security software

if you say it is a bios level hack then my friend .

it is not easy to stop this hack!

this hacker probably knows your mac address,

you can use a software to change your ip address [ProxyWay]

google it!

this will only prevent further hacks!

provided the person doesn't know your physical address.

you might be having recovery console CD.put that CD when u start ur system.so far as i know its not a bios level hack dont worry abt it.it will ask for the new password enter the new one and when u get entry to ur system just find the registry entry for the exe (that someone has sended to ur machine)dot worry delete any of the entry of that software.it wont work after that now change the password again.

reastart the machine and change the password once more..........

so far as my knowledge is concerned ur out but dont give another chance to any one ...............be a secure admin. :)

best of luck
