If you are typing your password in the same way you are typing this message
(screaming at us with ALL CAPS!) then you can help yourself by turning off
your CAPS-LOCK key. Also, if you do not want your machine to automatically
lock the computer when you leave it idle, check your screensaver settings
and make sureit is not set to password protect or go back to the welcome
screen when the screensaver activates. Also, you may want to check into
getting a third party firewall and activating it (AOL keeps you from using
the built in firewall Windows XP came with) and make sure you have a current
Antivirus software and have recenltly scanned for adware/spyware as well.
