    Be careful with your account... any signs why it was hacked, I wouldn't think you're that careless (in the definition sense, not in a mean way).

    Yeah, after "money back in 10 minutes" it's dificult to believe.

    But anyways, if anyone else have that problem I would recomend format C: , cause if you have a keylogger or trojan in you PC that "hacker" will always know your login and pass no matter how you change it or make new accounts.

    I've never fully trusted leaving money in my paypal account, which is why I always transfer it straight to my bank account. I'd suggest trying that, as it should reduce the likelihood of you getting money stolen.

    AVG, it's free.

    Paypal reimburses most of the time.

    Just reformat your computer, update to the latest Microsoft patches, put in bit defender, Zonealarm and AVG and update AVG signatures. You should be safe.

    Zonealarm is a firewall, AVG is an anti virus, they work perfectly well together.

    Hi,

    If I transfer all the paypal money to bank account, but since the bank account is connected to the paypal account does it mean if my paypal got hacked, then people can get all money from my bank account too? or anyway to set a limited say the bank account only for deposit and not for withdrawal?

    Thanks!

    Yes, Good advice.
    Email headers can spoofed so easily, I could send you an email right now with perl script and make look its from fbi.gov for example. Free email sites like Hotmail Don't allow you to see the internal headers of mail unfortunately to see the actually IP it was sent from, buts very easy to spoof the "from" field.

    Also I may suggest to alway to go directly to the site with HTTPS:// Paypal.com
