Today I went to login to my ebay account. Once I entered first three letters into ebay login id field the text got "moved" (snapped? stolen?). It (3 letters) just disappeared, but in a way as if someone lifted it off or copied it and took off. I don't know how else to explain. It happened before many times on a Gooogle search engine text field. First word of the search phrase used to disapear the same way. My computer has multiple and updated anti-spyware and windows firewall. Any ideas?

Maybe you started typing before the page fully loaded. Sometimes, you can click in the input box and start typing before the page is done loading. Once it loads, the coding in the page sets the cursor in the input box and erases what you already typed.

try to type it first on ex. notepad or on run..., then copy paste it! ;P

you seem a bit paranoid. Is it the government? Unlikely, unless perhaps your some kind of criminal they might be after?
Multiple anti-spyware and firewalls is bad. You should only have one anti-spyware, one anti-virus, one firewall. The windows firewall sucks.

The page loads completely. Sometimes text get "snapped" sometimes can't select text with a mouse from the first try. I can't describe it well, but it feels as if something is trying to copy and read the info that I read or enter or type in. There's Windows SpywareBlaster. Is it useful at all?

I definitely think this is the answer.

I don't think this is true.

I really doubt that there is some force out there sucking your text off your screen. You're describing the type thing that Angele answered. Maybe it's time for some updating with the computer... you didn't tell us anything about that.

IMO, SpyBot S&D and Spyware Blaster are a couple of the best security programs that you can get.

Are you using a wireless keyboard/mouse? If so there could possibly be some radio interference. I get this sort of thing every once in a while.
