Possible scam?? I just recieved the above email regarding info that my account was accessed by a third party and that I was suppose to complete the attached form to regain access to my account. I clicked on the attachment and saw that it was asking account information so I closed it and went to pay pal to find out more info. I was reading one of the similar scams and answer that included "don't click on the attachment" which I had done already. How much of a mess will this cause and what can I do to stop it before it starts? Did I activate the "keylogger" problem and if I did, how do I clean it out or stop it?
You may have downloaded a keylogger by opening the attachment. Here's how to get rid of it;
Change your passwords - all of them.
THEN, you need to run several anti-spyware programs in case you got a keylogger downloaded to your computer. Spybot and Malware anti-malware are good and they're free - Google them for the download sites.
THEN, you need to change all of your passwords AGAIN, in case the keylogger had time to send the password change to another computer.
