agreed. I tried making a firewall and got everything working except skype which wanted ALL ports opening otherwise it would only function partially (either not get all contacts on login or not be able to connect).

also another thing is adding another user which only has write access to PS for when it needs updates.

sorry to hear man. sucks FTP can't do anything to compensate.

There is a neat program for OSX that monitors anything going in and out to the internet on any port called Little Snitch (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html) - Good program. I was amazed to find that the Calculator for OS X, tries to connect to wu--calculator.apple.com on TCP Port 80.

Yeah, a calculator trying to connect to the internet. wtf? lol

That is fucked up, man! You really need to have a firewall (actually you shoudl be ashamed of yourself for not having a virusscanner and fw, this day and age age, with so much spyware/adware, vira and shit everywere these days) installed , with basically all ports closed, and and a virusscanner.

With a virus scanner (constantly updated ofc), you might be able to spot these keyloggers (which it sounds like it is). And with a firewall, you will be able to block their access to you're computer, so they can check all the passwords theyve stolen. I wouldnt recommend that you deposit untill you've atleast gotten a descent firewall. I dont know which software firewall are the best, since I use my router, but Zonealarm should be pretty good, because they will obv just be able to steal any password, and new acount you create.

But to be completely safe, I would recommend that you that you just format you hdd, before playing any poker.

yea doesnt look like chip dumping but more like sabotage. Who would have such a beef with you? I would expect most people would try to find a way to steal the money, not just donate to random strangers.
