Hi Larry,
The interesting thing about the fraud (well, to me!) was that the bank notified me that these two withdrawals had been made on 4th December and on the same day the pc crashed. I would have spotted them on my monthly bank statement which was due on about 10th December, but the bank got there first,and I still don't know how the bank identified them. The sums taken were small (around £40 sterling) and I was advised that this was likely a fishing expedition and that a clearout of my account would have followed, but luckily, it was on the 4th that the pc crashed and this could have been caused by the hacker making an error or more likely by spyware. The pc repairer found more than 200 spyware thingies in the pc and had to do a complete cleanout.
Point I'm trying to make is to make sure you have a reliable anti spyware programme installed. I had Spybot which I was told is useless and now have a programme called Bullguard which is anti virus, spam, and spyware, which is automatically undated daily. I was also advised to keep away from Limewire as this is a well known source of spyware.....
