    Someone tried to change my getafreelancer password today. He even logged into my gmail 6 hours ago, as i see it at the bottom of the page in gmail with IP "122.169.140.222"

    I am not able to log into Getafreelancer, the support staff asked me to send my verification details, i sent them i hope i will be saved with this account.

    But how could he get access to all my accounts, its really shocking.

    I use Avast anti-virus, spyware terminator and i never download rubbish.

    I fear a lot becoz these activities, becoz of terror activities, i hope these idiots dont use my emails for illegal activities.

    I already changed the passwords, but still i fear.

    I want the best suggestions to get out of this mess....

    The IP address belongs to Bangalore, India. Try to change all passwords, security questions of all your important account. This is only solution looks to me.

    Consider all of your PC's infected.

    Avast - get rid of it, useless stuph.

    NOD32/Eset - Yes.

    But, before you do all of that - Do a web scan from multiple AV companies, see what a scan comes up with.

    Spyware terminator - Crap, get rid of it.

    The best way to get out of this mess, backup all of your personal data and reload your OS.

    Ensure your local computers are not open to DMZ or open internet access, firewall installed and uptodate AV.

    If it happens again it will be time to contract a security engineer for a few hours to see exactly what is going on.

    Yeah thanks for all your replies. Everyday my system is scanned for adwares, malwares but none found.

    I removed spyware and installed Malwarebytes, i found 25 trojans, malware which i deleted, now my system is running fast as well.
