, home computer, only hubby looking over my shoulder to help and keep me calm, paypal was great, rang my westnet, which has been sold to someone else, ring back in an hour, 1 1/2 later then Rang onto line, 10 mins, hung up, not what they used to be, they had a big outage this morning somewhere, but not here.
did a free advast scan. nothing except I changed some passwords.
No I don't open any spam.
think I will have to pay for a proper virus protector, but not norton.
any hints. i have over 4,000 spam at the moment, but don't know if its my computer or email. with all this going on, is it safe to click onto your bank accounts and change passwords. Hubby won't have a bar of online banking.
No. If your computer security is still under threat, DO NOT attempt to change passwords on the same computer until it is clean.
If you cannot access another safe computer or mobile device then IMO ring your bank and ask them to put a temporary hold on internet transactions until you are confident it is sorted.
The inconvience will bring peace of mind and negates the risks you appear to be vulnerable to at this time.

Hi Guys, found out how to bulk change my email on Ebay,
what I think has happened, with the spam, my hubby was reading awhile ago a lot of businesses were complaining because gmail
was fixing something and everyone got all their emails they sent out all back again, even from people they hadn't heard from for years, I also got someones elses bigpond one. There was only mine and his, not like normal spam. They have now stopped at 5 this morning, thank goodness.
still doesn't explain how my paypal was hacked, have a lovely day, Pam.
