    Changing your passwords is a good start. However you should do more. Run some scans to see if any nasty programs have been put in your system.

    Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

    Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.

    Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

    Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...

    Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....

    Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html

    SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

    It's main features include:

    - Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

    - Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.

    - Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

    well, change all your stuff on there. (passwords) Thats the only way to protect yourself. Change everything. You are being hacked which means someone stole all of your personal settings on the webpage and changed your password and everything. If you get them both back, CHANGE THE PASSWORD.
