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.

And it's that naivety that got your account jacked in the first place

Looks like your gonna be talking to PayPal a whole lot more.

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