Move along.

I don't know anything about G Mail. However, at Hotmail you can configure up to five accounts together. All a user has to do is establish them independently and link them. There after you just log onto anyone of the accounts and use a drop down menu to move about the others. You can gain entry via any of the accounts. I do it most every day. DA

Of course, I hadn't done anything to compromise my account, or my password. The one this happened to/from, is one I really only read list mail, and don't mail from myself. But, now that I reset passwords to all my accounts, I forgot the first one I used.... and can not access my "main email account". ARGH I will have to wait 24 hours, before I can try and regain access to it, according to google. Patience... patience, some one grant me patience! LOL Moni

There is a HUGE difference between someone gaining access to your email and your computer being compromised. You haven't provided any evidence that your computer is hacked. You have provided evidence to the contrary since you scanned your computer and didn't find anything. Also, if your computer has been hacked, the hacker probably isn't interested in using anything that is actually on your computer but is interested in using your computer to do other malicious things or monitoring your keystrokes to get passwords to financial accounts. Deleting files on your computer isn't going to prevent any of that (assuming your computer has been hacked). People keep many gigabytes of crap on their computers, hackers aren't going to rummage through all of those files in hopes of finding some valuable morsel. Unless you are a prominent person who is known to have classified documents or something like that on your computer, in which case you might be targeted for the data on your computer.
