I recently was hacked in my email by this skype thing and I dont use skype. I am sure it was a client of mine as 20 minutes later he left me a threatening call. However, it went through all my contacts and sent a link to all of them. So I did changed my password and notifited everyone on my contact list which took me two days. So what else can I do to ensure this does not happen again and that it is gone as I have your program on my computer, I run the scan everyday and nothing shows up.
