OK, here's what happened. I've been researching some budget-friendly winter tires for my Jeep in case the used Pirelli Scorpions turn out to be junk (so far they're OK though). So yesterday I was surfing Google for some reviews of Treadwright retread tires (formerly Hi-Tec retreads). So I see a link that goes to neow.org. Now, me being the trusting type, since it's on the first page of Google links, I click it. Well, the website fails to load, and locks up Internet Explorer. So, I restarted the PC and then when I went to my usual sites on the 'net (njfboa.org, montecarloss.com, pro-touring.com, etc), all of my login information had been cleared - WTF? So, I re-enter the screen names and passwords, click the little box that says "Remember me every time I come here" or whatever-the-hell it says, and think I'm good to go. Wrong! Just turned on the PC this AM, and everything is cleared again.
Cliff's Notes Version - my computer clears all the IE settings every time I shut down.
Did something get into my PC from that website that is trying to harvest my password info and crap? And, how can I resolve this?
