  • Scan for Viruses
  • Scan for Spyware
  • Scan for Trojan Horses


1. What resolution is your monitor set at?
2. Do other people make use of your PC?

forgot to add, that I just went in and changed the resolution to 1152x864. The resolution had apparently changed....but the question is HOW did that change without ME doing it? I did call earthlink to have a tech walk me through some issues two days ago,and had to give the tech my password, but I immediately changed my password after that session, because I really don't trust even the techs!!!!

It may have been reset due to a full screen application that did not reinstate the resolution that Windows was set to after closing.

The following applications are used to identify and remove spyware:

Spybot Search & Destroy

Adaware SE Personal

    So your question now is...
    "How did my resolution increase by itself while I was asleep and the computer was left on?"

    Does anyone else have access to your computer?
