    There could be a few things you are not considering. How secure are your security questions? You know, the ones that you would get asked if you click the "I forgot my password" link at sign on. Make sure those are secure and you may want to change them. Also, there is the possibility that you are being keylogged and therefore regardless of how often you change your password, they will still know it. My advice, make sure you have a security suite of software. I recommend (Download them, install, update, scan):

    1) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

    2) SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition

    3) Avira AntiVir Personal

    4) Comodo Firewall

    Also, if you are using wireless internet, make sure that you are using the best wireless encryption you have available to you. In order of preference they should be (WPA2, WPA, WEP).

    And one final thing, make sure that you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer. I recommend Firefox, but there are other options like Chrome and Opera. Hope this helps.

    Keystroke logging (frequently referred to as keylogging) is the action of monitoring (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, oftentimes in a covert way so as that the guy utilising the keyboard is unaware that their movements are being monitored. there are multiple keylogging approaches, commencing from hardware and application-based methods to electromagnetic and acoustic analysis. The "moron" is incorrect. What you would be concerning is a distant administration device, like Logmein Ignition. A keylogger is seen malware, and is probably undesirable application. Hackers use keyloggers to checklist your passwords, and this helps them to scouse borrow your account. despite the fact that, you are able to placed a keylogger onto your on workstation in case you fairly had to.
