No you are not paranoid.

I know xn a computer whizz used to track what was going on on my computer when he was here.  Found out after he left.  Sicko thought I was up to something....... more projection.

I used to get all sorts of spam about schoolgirl passion, porn, meds, viagra etc............... and nobody else was using my pc.

I took the advice here and changed me email address.  Think he lost interest in any event.

hugs,

axa

You're right, NMMG.

Best to firewall up and starve him out. I've heard just the same and have myself used the ones James suggests, or at least AVG, ZoneAlarm, and Spybot. Dunno what works for the Mac, but a determined geek can be rented to set you up.

(No chance he has entry to your house, I hope.)

Hops

oh geez, i seriously don't think he'd have access to my house.  as far as i know, he lives in NY, and i live on the west coast.....so no, i don't think so!  ack!

oh geez....i got an email message from myspace customer service that supposedly 'I' had reported to them that i couldn't log in.

i think xN is trying to hack me.

do you think i should just delete my myspace profile entirely?  i'm tempted.  this is seriously creeping me out.

NMMG,
What do the myspace customer service people suggest you can do to protect yourself, seeing as you are using *their* product? Don't they have a duty to help keep their customers safe from things like this? Do they know about the problems you've been having?
It does sound creepy to me.

I have found that if you click on the wrong thing on your computer you do get lots of spam.........like once I did a tall and big girl google search (because I am a big and tall girl looking for clothes.....) well, I got so many porn sites with fat girls naked!!  Yuck.  After that I got all kinds of spam and they would actually say things like "Kelly, I thought you might like this....."  So beware.  Yes, your X may have gotten some passwords or maybe you got a trojan like Izzie said.  She is a brain on computers!

janet:

the email i received required me to send them a picture of myself holding a sign that had my "friend ID" on it to prove who i am.  don't think xN could pull that one off too easily! :P

overcomer:
oh, i know a lot of that goes on....i get those SPAMs that have my name in the subject line, too...and stuff somehow keeps track of what you're searching for online and is somehow able to then email related SPAM to you...it truly is creepy, and i realize my xN is not responsible for that stuff.

but the other things i've mentioned in my post seem much more specific to me (and my xN)...such as my myspace profile being changed to "proud parent" without me doing it, xN sending me directly that poop porn link (it was from him, not someone i didn't know), being sent hundreds of the same SPAM message all at once by a "johnnyp" (one of xN's best buddies back then was named john p.), or being sent an "irreversible virus" by a "timmyh", when xN's other good buddy's name was tim, etc. (and xN called his buddies "johnny" and "timmy", too).

and i KNOW that i didn't send myspace customer service anything having to do with not being able to log in.  i really do think i'm being hacked, most likely by xN.

there...i deleted my personal profile on myspace, kept my band profile but deleted all the "friends" i didn't really know, and got a new email address.

sheesh!  i'm pretty bummed, as i had years of blogs, comments, messages, etc, on my personal profile.
