How did my friend get my email password when very far from me?

My friend lives in South Africa while I am in Kenya. He got my password online and told me. He refused to tell me his trick. He is a computer genius and I wonder how he did it. He did not guess because he has done it twice and I use very strong passwords that I even sometimes forget. He has no one to watch out for me. How did he do it from that far away?

Answer
You sure you don't have spyware on your system, or remote control software?

Google these freeware programs to secure your pc.

-) Download & install Firefox as your web browser.
-) Install macromedia flash & shockwave, then java.
-) Download CCleaner & run it.
-) Under CCleaner startup options, remove all but your yahoo, antivirus, or possibly firewall.

Don't use Internet Explorer again! Firefox is more secure, + built in tabs, & popup blocking.

-) Download zonealarm free edition firewall & install it.
-) Download AVG free antivirus, install & update definitions.
-) Download Spybot Search & Destroy & update definitions.

-) Scan your pc with AVG, Spybot, & trend micro online housecall.

P.S. Didn't tell us what program he get's your password from, such as IE, PC logon password, or whatever.

Need to be more specific to know how it happened.

Thanks!

Why is the world not interested in South Africa anymore?

Brad M

Back when the country was run by the National Party, and there were working roads, working hospitals, law and order, a semblance of 1st world norms, a viable economy, a formidable military and people weren't dropping dead of AIDS in record numbers, there was the constant outcry over apartheid, resulting in the sanctions, the demonizing of the only working country in Africa and the constant whining about freeing Mandela.

So, the communist/terrorist Mandela is freed and the criminals of the ANC take over.
Twelve years later, under their misrule and blatant corruption, a once beautiful country is being reduced to rubble, the so-called leaders of SA rely on witchdoctors to cure AIDS and spend taxpayer money hand over fist.

Guess what? Not a peep out of the rest of the world. Mandela is deified as a saint (please), and South Africa is considered 'liberated'. And if anyone dares see things as they are, they are condemned as a 'racist' or 'apartheid lover'.

What hypocrisy.
jack daniels - interesting but meaningless. Care to address the question?
robsnor - the English equivalent would be something along the lines of 'What the heart desires, the mouth runs over about.'
No. that's not me. I don't desire to live in South Africa again.
I'm basically a fairly dispassionate observer, that is taken aback at the current situation in the country I was born in.
african lion - what does oil have to do with this?
Joyce F - you back for more, baby? Let's get it on.
You take the UN seriously? What a shocker. The same UN that let hundreds of thousands die in Rwanda. That does nothing as Mugabe rapes Zimbabwe. That has China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia on its Human Rights Commission
The same UN that indulges your corrupt so-called government as human predators prey unchecked on its citizens, and those citizens die of AIDS in their millions.

And you know what the kicker to all this is? South Africa is on the Human Rights Commission!

Looks like you can't read, either. The phrase I used was 'fairly dispassionate.'
The adjective is there for a reason.
Dir33 - I direct these questions here because this is a section on South Africa.

No more apartheid? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
What are the BEE and Affirmative Action doctrines if not a black version of apartheid?
But you have unwittingly answered the question:
The reason that no one is interested
in South Africa now, is because the perpetrators of the discrimination and thuggery now have black faces and African names.
You see, in today's politically correct world, people only sit up and pay attention if the antagonists have white skins and European names.
Diesel - long time, no see. I see you're still living in dreamland over in the UK. Why are you still there, if you're so proud of South Africa?

Many countries have alerts out to their citizens about the dangers of travelling to South Africa, and companies are pulling out of South Africa as fast as they can. Take a look at the ghost town that used to be Johannesburg's Central Business District and tell me I'm wrong. It also looks less and less like The World Cup will happen there.
That's how eager people are to interact with what used to be South Africa.

No crisis in South Africa anymore? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I guess the murder, rape, carjacking and AIDs don't count, as long as there's no apartheid anymore.

Best that you don't reply to this - you'll just look more foolish than you do now.
poepies - baie interesante punte, meisie. Thambo was a matjie van Mandela, en ook n terroris. Hulle moes die twee van hulle geskiet en vandag is daar nie probleme nie.

Ek het dit al in engels oor en oor gese, nou se ek dit in Afrikaans: die rede hoekom die wereld nie meer in Suid Afrika belang stel nie, is omdat mense stel belang net as wit mense sleg doen an anders.
'aan anders'.
Anria - it's not a Communist 'theory'. The economic state of what used to be South Africa has all the earmarks of classic Communism - much as they are in Cuba, China or North Korea. With an added twist - monstrous everyday crime ( due to an imbecilic government, some of whom even received training in the former Soviet Union ) and a modern day plague, mowing down your citizens in the millions.
From the way social conditions have deterioated - squatter camps,a deserted Central Business District - to the way government is becoming more of an omnipotent entity - Affirmative Action, BEE, the theft of land from white farmers, government control of the internet, all this is classic Communism.
Even the way the thieves, rapists, murderers, embezzlers, child killers and terrorists who are running the country, are stealing taxpayer money hand over fist, reeks of the corruption attached to Communism.
Interesting that we've drifted away from the substance of this question.
When the Nats were running what used to be South Africa, there was the constant worldwide outcry over apartheid, but now that the ANC is running the country into the ground, and fast, no one says a damn thing.

Hallo daar.

Interesting facts you're pointing out. And yes, if we look at the truth, the world is loosing interest in us. (Sadly)!!!

But what did you expect? All you read about South Africa is corruption, murder on tourist, all the bad things that is taking place in SA. When last did you hear something positive.

Changing all the cities names, for example: Johannesburg International Airport, is changed to O.R. Thambo (Who is he anyway???). Pretoria, now Tshwane (the worst part of it all, not even the black people are sure if Tshwane was a leader in their culture, some never even heard of him).

Now I know you must wonder what this have to do with your question, well here goes: If the South African people doesn't know where all this places are (with the new names), how will the people abroad know where they're going...

Many people didn't even know Johannesburg, what to say about O.R. Thambo. Tourism is playing a huge fact in the interest of other countries in South Africa. This is rediculous!!!

And as you said, the taxpayer is paying for all this bullshiit.

We are ruled by a bunch of monkeys, so why would you want to visit a country zoo if you've got a zoo in your own country????????

And let's face it, apartheid is actually worse than in the apartheids-era. Think about it people, apartheid has just changed from white to black... (I know not all of us, but open your eyes and see, blacks hate whites, and white hates black!!!!) Sometimes it feels like I'm standing outside, watching South Africa turning into a huge murder and crime scene!!! Face the facts, just open the newspaper and smell the blood!
