    Hi, received an email supposedly from Paypal but in fact it was a phishing email and it had an attachment which i clicked. Could they now get my Paypal password from the cookies on my computer or something?

    it is good to run spybot or similar tools before you long in to your paypal account.

    Be safe than sorry..

    Always keep an eye on your address-bar , Look for the URL and also PayPal Website uses SSL which causes address-bar to turn green and with a URL Prefix https:
