    How do I prevent a stalker from redirecting my Facebook messages to herself
    I was trying to send Facebook mssgs to friends; they were never received, and 1 was replied to by a woman who's been stalking me for a long time & has me under surveillance, rather than the person I sent it to. (It's possible she set up a phony Facebook profile.) I was told to reconfigure my router (Cisco wireless) or to check the router log for in/out info, but which would be better & how do I do it? Thanks.

    I hope you have a really strong password. And by that I mean, at least 9 characters including numbers and special characters. I.E. those above the numbers on the keyboard. Don't use dates, names of family or friends, and avoid places as well. And change it periodically. THere are also other security settings that aren't set by default that you can block non-friends from seeing anything.

    If they have hacked into your home network you have far worse problems than just Facebook.

    This is Arizona again. Would it do me anygood to change the password if she has something reading my keystrokes? And how do I change the security settings on my router? (Cisco wireless.)

    Are you running a quality anti-virus.. anti-spam program? You need to find out if you have a keylogger program on your machine.
