Very often I experience a problem in both WinXP Home and
Pro.
When I start typing a password login, e.g. to a bank,
typed letters frequently
automatically jump to upper window (User Name) and became
visible in my display??? And may be, for somebody else
who try to steal my information???

What is it? WinXP fraud or something else??

Thank you for any information.
Best, Alex

This is the autocomplete function that is built into IE, it is designed to
recognize that you have typed the item before and then assist in speeding
things up so you don't have to retype it. You can turn this off inside of
the options for IE.
