To be more specific, I'm looking to see what file might have been deleted (I have a hunch the hacker was in the Control Panel and might have some-how stopped me from editing the password). P.S. I sent a support ticket to Cpanel. | ||||

| I'd send a ticket to your Host, not cPanel.. You can view the last visitors in cPanel | ||||

Edit again: call me crazy, but I'm starting to enjoy this. It's a cat and mouse game of changing passwords. This guy's going to get tired of me really fast. | ||||

That will get most keyloggers, but not all of them...If you suspect that you may still have one after running, there is software out there made specifically to detect keyloggers, but I haven't used them enough to give you a recommendation.

| Also run a good firewall [if you use a router it's likely you already have one]. A firewall will block [and also notify you of] data going out of your computer that you have not approved. | ||||
