Or, as good as avoiding social engineering/phishing schemes that _look like_
they come from one place but don't. Many people use the same password
for everything. Don doesn't seem like that sort, but it's not uncommon.

A spyware scan is definately in order. Keyloggers were created for just
this purpose, and they're quite common on Windows machines. adaware
from www.lavasoft.de is probably the best spyware scanner to start with.
AVG antivirus from www.grisoft.com is free and excellent.

I use Adaware and Spybot. ONe will catch a couple that the other misses.
Be sure to update the data file regularly.
