In Outlook 2007, when you type in your password, do you see black dots or
asterisks?

mine look like dots but I use high resolution and a small screen... so they
could really be dots or just such small asterisks that they look smooth.
What difference does it make?

I've heard somewhere if you start out with black dots and then all of a
sudden you see asterisks, Your mail program has been hacked. Want to know if
there is any truth in what they say.

I've never heard it and I certainly would not use this method to prove
anyone was infected or hacked. Some (most) clients use asterisks & I thought
older versions of Outlook did but don't have a copy on this system to
verify.
