When you change your password, do you Sign out all other sessions first?  If not, this person may still have access to the account even after you change the password.

Also make sure the new password you are selecting is not very similar to the original one.

Here are some tools you can use to scan your computer

* Spybot: Search & Destroy - http://safer-networking.org/en/index.html
* MalwareBytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/
* SuperAntiSpyware -http://www.superantispyware.com/

I hope this helps you.  Good luck!
