I recently had a laptop from a friend of mine's cousin who had a very NASTY virus on it due to it being hacked! All I can say is make sure you have a STRONG password to all of your accounts, and also be sure you have the latest and greatest antivirus/malware software on your setup.

Also keep the updates up-to-date! There's a particularly nasty bug going around right now called TDS-4 which is part of the TDSS system put out back in '08. It's almost undetectable unless you notice your computer doing weird things. Contained in that virus is a keylogger which is one way that hackers can get your passwords to your accounts.

These days BE CAREFUL!! B)

One of the newer scams is picking up a virus from Image files.

When Google image surfing I will get a message from Norton about a hack attempt...coming in thru the image site. Usually the screen will freeze and "start" a scan for viruses......and you cannot back out. My norton will close it, but on some you must "X" out

As Bill said...keep your antivirus and spyware up to date.
