Well, I've changed my passwords/challenge questions on my resintalled, safe sytem.
While I was doing that for Vanguard, I noticed they have a feature (an on/off selection) to to choose if you want to restrict only access to already allowed computers or not. Good for if you are a bit paranoid (not that there's anything wrong with that ), or if you suspect your identity info has been compromised. Since I sorta fall in the latter and I'm still accessing what happened to me, I went ahead and restricted access to only my recognized computers.
The on/off is cookie based, so if you have a new computer, or if you remove your cookies, you have to toggle off first on an allowed computer, to allow new computer access, then set it back to restrict.
An extra measure of safety against them theives
