The VERY best passwords have a mixture of characters, numbers and letters in - such as A!b"C£1$d%E^f&2*G(HI)3-J=kl4m. Of course, no sane person could easily remember that password!Like Bas' said, try adaware
If ALL come back clean its looking pretty good
Next job is changing all the IMPORTANT passwords over (Make them pretty tough nuts to crack)
I can remember passwords which have random letters easier than numbers, for some reason. Add some numbers here and there, which you won't forget, and you have a decent password. Even if you have a word, and change the letters around and add some numbers, like so:
notepad 123456 > ntpdoea > n12tp34do56eaEverybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0
