    Hi
    I started having problems with my computer some time ago. When I start it up, I log into my account (I'm the administrator) and all is fine, I can also log into the guest account. But, if I leave the computer unattended, when I come back and move the mouse or press a key, it takes me to the login screen (this is normal) but when I try to return to my session, then it asks me for a password, and I dont have one, even if I leave it blank and press enter, I won't get in. Do you think this has anything to do with spyware or a trojan or something like that?
    all suggestions appreciated, thanks.
