Auto-encryption problem

[ChetN]

Sometime back, I accessed a site that required a sign-in. I entered the information and checked the option that my information would not be visable--dumb me! Now I cannot enter my info anywhere.

When I write my city and state, the two names are changed. The following is what happens. MFEMFEM, MFEMFEMFEM.

The state is Calif. (this works if I do not spell it out) What can I do to get rid of this?

Help, please.

Type Control userpasswords2 in the Start Run box and press OK. In the resulting window click Advanced/ Manage Passwords. See if there is anything you recognize in there?

Hi Linney,
Thanks for the response. I have found the culprit. My McAfee Privacy Service has this information in the "block info" list. Something I did not know about. Luckily another client had sent a message to the McAfee chat room, and that put me on the right track.

Now I can write Arcadia, California.
