I'd suggest that you don't give out your password if that's what you're talking about.

If you have it setup with a POP or IMAP mail program, all you need to do is remove your information from it or simply set it up so you have to use your password each time you'd like to check your e-mail.

The very first step is to change your password. Then scan with the following programs.


Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Run Spybot and Adaware weekly.


Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...

Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....

Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
