I am running AVG, Adaware and Microsoft's spyware on my computer now. So far it looks like the only account affected was the brokerage one. The rest look ok and I've changed passwords and implemented daily notification alerts on them. Thanks for all the commments. I am running AVG, Adaware and Microsoft’s spyware on my computer now.

There is a coupon in their Summer Member Passport that will allow you to buy Norton for $9.99 from 6/26 to 7/2/06. Part of it is a mail-in rebate but you actually get those when you buy at Costco because you can apply for the rebate online at Costco's website. I had McAfee on my old computer and I didn't find it nearly as good as the Norton's product. If you are a Costco member, they have a deal on Norton Anti-virus.

Virus and spyware clean-up was a big part of my job when I was working for a living. I suggest Ad-aware, SpySweeper, and Microsoft's spyware remover. Ad-aware really won't catch everything alone. I always had to use all three programs (also used to use Spybot, but I don't think it does anything the others don't do). If you have anything that keeps coming back, well, it only gets more complicated. :-/ Well, I can speak from experience and tell you that McAfee isn’t the greatest for catching spyware (or viruses, for that matter).

I downloaded AVG anti-virus software (30-day trial) which is the program that found the virus (PSW.Generic). I was running McAfee software before but my subscription expired so I went maybe 2 months without updated virus protection. Btw, I have changed all my passwords.

Maybe it's time to call the police. Actually, this might be under the juristiction of the FBI if it involves banks.. Ouch. Maybe it’s time to call the police.

With a keystroke logger, they know everything you've been typing since the logger was downloaded on your computer. This could give them access to anything where you've typed in passwords, IDs -- anything. Have you changed all your IDs and passwords? That would be the first thing to do.
