Anyone else having this problem? I checked for viruses and ad-aware but see nothing, here's the deal. My ns forums account every day someone has been requesting a new password for the past 5 days, which at first only ticked me off. Then someone created an account called The Prophet Nurot on the 15th sending me a personal message and thats all it appears he's done for activity, don't know if its related, but i figured it was worth mentioning. Then my gmail account I went to this morning all my emails were to longer in the inbox and im not sure i know the password O_O. I logged out and whammo I tried the 1 or 2 things i use and its voila changed. Due to my terrible settings of secondary account info for gmail I also cant retrieve the password. So I guess this is a possible goodbye because I don't even know the password to this account because I didnt have a chance to re-memorize it after logging in before logging out of gmail to which it was reset to random numbers and letters, Oh boy such fun. So now I cant even change this password or change email addresses so if someone resets it again ,weeeeeee, Ive lost this account, hopefully ill figure out what the heck my gmail password is, but is anyone having anything wierd happen to them or what? Sorry for the rant.

    Sounds like someone's got your account info meladdio.

    Suggest making new accounts, and being suspective of keyloggers, many of which are not found by an AV, or AS sweep.

    Normal security checks apply to online accounts, as they do in real life. You have a PIN number for your debit, and credit cards, but you make sure that you don't tell them to anyone, even a close relative. Same thing applies when using a PC, just the person isn't face-to-face, makes no ends.

    Don't let anyone know your account information, or your password.

    Period.

    Yeah I just ditched my gmail account because theres no way I can get it back... I fgot a new gmail account and am working on chjanged my email for every account ever..... gonna take a while over and I made a new gmail account so hopefully i'll be set, yeah I was thinking keylogger too, but Im sure something between spybot, ad-ware, symantec, avg and zone alarm would pick it up

    You can always change your email account for the forum (<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/view?action=editprofile' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/view?action=editprofile</a>), then request that the password be reset.
