    Kinda frightened here.
    I noticed day before yesterday that my gmail account had a response from someone I didn't know answering a question about some baby itmes for sale in Winnipeg...I live in central Illinois and did not ask this question.

    I immediately changed my password for gmail to one that was supposedly strong. Today I notice this person signed for Domino's account and ordered pizza with my username. They also questioned M$ about an update problem for windows and get a thorough response...the scary part is that MY computer has an update problem and hasn't been able to be updated since 2007. I have the persons name,phone,and city.

    What is going on here?

    I'm running a Dell Dimension 2350 with 1.5g ram and XP pro behind Zone alarm firewall, AVG anti virus, Spybot S&D, Ccleaner, Ad aware... cable internet, and a Dlink wireless router for my laptop.

    Help? I'm running Spybot right now ,but, not holding out much hope that this will help anything.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Did they use your credit card info?

    How are you finding out about them asking questions at Microsoft? Are you getting return emails on this?

    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
