I installed sitemeter on my blog fairly recently. I discovered two hits by the Israeli Government Network in November. Since that time I've had an unprecedented number of e-mails go missing, sitemeter's stopped recording hits, and the details regarding the Israeli Gov. Net. visits have disappeared, while the details regarding other visitors have remained.
At a certain point, I changed my password on sitemeter, and it started recording hits again, but shortly afterwards it stopped again, except it continued recording the visits I make from two different work locations (it's set to ignore visits from my home PC). I know there have been visitors, because when I visit my blog I can see that there are sometimes other people on-line, and there is a counter on each article.
There's also the fact that I was a victim of on-line credit card fraud in November, which may or may not be related.
It seems as if I'm being told, "We know where you are, what you're doing, and we can interfere whenever we want."
I'm not sure what the appropriate response to this turn of events is, and would appreciate your suggestions. I wonder if my computer is full of spyware. I use spybot, avast, and some other programs for protection, but have had some problems recently. Should I get a new computer? If so, what steps should I take to avoid further problems?
Is there a way I can use e-mail without interference? Are there any other precautions I should take?
