Could I be hacked?

shakeydude

Hi,

Some strange things have been happening lately. My gmail account (which I run through outlook at home) has sent out emails to everyone in my address book advertising some electronics appliances. I have since changed my password, but last night I swore I could hear someone striking keys as if my computer was being accessed remotely. I cut my internet connection and it stopped. Am I just getting paranoid now?

I use the AVG free software with Spybot to protect machine and the results came back that there were no abnormalities.

I was thinking of posting this on conspiracy theories due to parnoia, but said I would start here. Any advise or experience from anyone else is appreciated.

I can't think of any possible reason why someone breaking into your computer would make key-clicking noises. Sounds like an overactive imagination!
