Hi,

a friend of mine has booked a ticket for a concert and a few minutes later
it was booked again. When he complained to the ticket-company and said that
he only ordered one ticket and asked why they charged him two, they said
that it was booked twice. When they checked their log-file, they found that
one was ordered from my computer. But to do so, I would have had needed my
friends log-in, his PIN and his bank account. Now he is really pissed off at
me and thinks I spyed in his stuff, which I definitely didn't.

However, there is no question that the order was sent from my computer. Now
my question: Since I know I definitely didn't do this and noone else has
access to my computer - is there any kind of virus that can do things like
that? Like a trojan virus or anything that scans computers which I have a
connection to (via FTP), spys out passwords and then completes actions like
booking something the other person did just a second ago?

If there is a Virus like that, please tell me. My anti-virus hasn't found
anything, but I know I didn't betray my friend and I don't want our
friendship to be ruined. So I am looking for an explanation...

Thanx,
Steph

PS: Please excuse my english.
