I wake up, and look at my email and see something has been charged. I looked closer (i figured it was one of those fake ones that ocasionaly are sent and are scams) But sure enough, when i log into my paypal account there is $59.99 USD (74.95 canadian) charged to some damn anime site. Wtf sigh.... I call paypal and deal with their low phone volume (you know what i mean if you called there) and after talking to 4 people they report a fraud. Nice way to end the year -_-

So hopefully you've taken the precautions to remove any keyloggers you might have? Otherwise it's just gonna happen again and again.

I have scanned, but nothing, and if it was a keylogger my dad's account would be charged too, seeing as he uses this pc also.

Still using IE to browse? Only thing I can think of other than keylogger.
