It's quite a scary thought, but what could you do about it? does spybot adaware detect this sort of thing and stop it even getting to the machine? Though it seems like someone just gets access to the machine and puts a password on that folder, a complete pain in the royal.
Other than backing up frequently and stop using the directory "My documents" how would anyone suggest that we protect against this?
It doesn't say how it happened to her, maybe opened an email attachment? any educated guesses?
