thats what happened to me, from what Om1kron told me he got some random email from me and so did 2 other friends...i dont fucken get it...

[DALAZ_68]

[DALAZ_68]

If I were you guys, your email has been compromised. I would close it and open a new account.

boom, s14db hit it

AVG is good, AVAST has a nice 2 week free trial. I've had then for like 4 years now no problems

Malwarebytes/crap cleaner to clean out spyware

get rkill if the virus doesn't let you run these programs, download all and run in safe mode blah blah. have internet off when running these programs

[rage]

avg is bloated nowadays, avast is free and is what i would recommend

PS3 accounts? Same password?

My Gmail recently got hacked and sent out a bunch of shit to everyone. I don't know whats going on.

that happened to me last Dec on my Gmail account.
iirc, someone else was complaining about the same thing on Zilvia.
I was lucky the password was the same.

not sure if there's anything security-related, specific to gmail anyone should be considered about.

get this: superantispyware.com

and u probably just fell for a phishing site. my email works fine.

whenever u are redirected to another page, u should automatically check to see if its legit. and if u cant tell, type the address in urself.

ie: depending on ur font ur computer is using, gmaiI.com might look exactly like gmail.com
little would u know, the "l" is actually and I.

just a lil tip =)
