It's a very common tactic of scammers....send you an email saying this or that account has been accessed and then you click on THEIR link and Bam! your computer is infected!

Yup, your email got hacked. Not BHW. And If you clicked on the link, hackers are already on your computer. Any password you typed in after you clicked on that link are also compromised. Time to pay a visit to The Geek Squad!!!  |

Almost right. The app she installed to monitor all her accounts that need a PW is the trojan itself. FB and Google have individual apps to provide such a notification but there are No apps that can cover everything. It's time to format, reinstall and change all PWs. I don't trust anything on the market to clean something like that out 100% once you install it.
Note... change the PWs AFTER you clean it out or the new PWs will just go to the same hackers. |

I'll tell you a story later today about my past dealings with helping people on IRC remove trojan files and just how little most computer programmers know about them.  |

| Yikes. I recently changed my Yahoo account to not having a password, but having a code sent via SMS. Over the last three days someone has tried three times to sign in. Scary stuff. |
