pan, it sounds like someone has installed a "rootkit" on your machine and is messing with you.
I would guess that it is all for a lark. But you sound pretty nervous about it.
Here is what I would suggest you do:
Download knoppix, burn the CD and run it, at least for a day or two. Knoppix is a CD-based linux distribution (meaning, that if you have someone who has remote access to your computer, their access methods won't work under linux), it won't write anything to your hard drive, or make you lose any data. Setup a new webmail account (with a new and unique password), login to TFP, and have it change the email address to that new webmail account, then change your TFP password, and use the password that you just got at that new webmail account. If you have TFP problems beyond that... there are bigger forces at work here.
