Thanks Michael. I have CA eTrust Antivirus installed here for quite some
time(company PC). So that schouldn't be it. i changed the password now,
let's see if it helps. though i would rather wanna know what happened.
so if anyone has an idea how to figure out who or what logged in, let
me know. maybe there's some kind of history available online?

kind regards
beat
