You didn't fall for any of the "Please Update Your Ebay Details" e-mails did you? They are getting more and more convincing, but if you look on the bottom bar the url shouldn't read properly, if in doubt, don't click! E-bay, paypal, the bank etc will NEVER ask you to log in to update your account via e-mail, it would always be via post.

Unfortunatly the only way to actually sort a computer out properly is to format, and re-install. 99% of spywhere removers don't work properly and the code they try to remove is usualy embedded in system files and can never be removed successfully.

Sure they just havn't hacked your hotmail or something and got all the ebay details from there?

The only way to be PC safe, is to format, re-install windows, stick anti-virus / firewall on straight away, then get ALL of the windows updates going. Even then a slightly skilled hacker can quite easily get access to your system.

The above poster knows nothing.

What anti spyware are you using?

I recommend ad-aware se (google it)

Also I recommend stinger.exe (google it) which can take care of hotmail hacks etc etc and a whole **** load of other stuff.

Let me know if you need any help. Don't reformat until you have tried everything, and there is a lot to try.

Yeah, reformatting is a little drastic!

Over the past few years I've dealt with every kind of spyware/adware/virus going, and none have needed a format and reload.

If you think you may have adware/spyware Bazooka is a good free tool, and AVG isn't bad as an Anit-virus.

I use Macafee firewall, and it's spot on, but you do need to pay for it. There are a few good free firewalls floating about.

Please try not to use the Microsoft firewall, it's not that good and keeps getting hacked/bypassed.

If you need any advice pm me, I can always connect remotrly if need be to sort you out! :)

Adaware se is good, so is spybot but make sure you check what it finds before you go deleting as some things that come up are for legitimate programmes. One other that is VERY good, and you may find this a little hard to believe, is the Microsoft spyware removal tool, search for it on their webby and download it, use it with all the others at least once a month to be sure.
