z, can you recommend something to check a computer to see if it is being key-logged?

ooOOOooo... if it's a hardware key logger you'll need to find it. Most virus programs will detect software key loggers unless it's a custom thing.

Wipe and reimage your system! I recomend a DoD type wipe.

My knowledge of them is limited. The ones I built were just a small piece of hardware that was installed in line with a keyboards cord and it just kept track of every key press. It was somewhat rudamentary in that you just get long text files, and it had to be retrieved in order to get the info off it. Then you just look for things that could be usernames and passwords.

It wouldn't be hard to fit with a transmitter and what not. It means actually having access to the keyboard.

So in Windows Disk Management, I just accidentally clicked on the wrong disk and converted it to a "Basic Disk" and now instead of 500 gigs of movies and tv shows I have 500 gigs of unallocated space. (It's been a really long day)

So how do I unfuck this?

In some partition programs there are options to recover "partitions" even if it's a whole disk. I can't remember which one we use at work. It might be in Partition Magic. Now if it went through the process of formatting that space.... well... it can be recovered as well, but you're not going to want to pay for it.

So I locked all my 'naughty' pictures of me and my girlfriend in a folder with a program called Folder Lock 6. Almost immediately I've forgotten the password. Is there a way to crack my password?
