I don't think you have been phished!!!! If you have then you would start seeing advertisement like crazy on your profile and comments that you have given your friends. I know this is hard to do but their are millions of people out there and some people know how to hack really well!!! I sort of know how to hack myself but not that good. Your password was probably too weak and the hacker figured it out. I suggest using something that only you would know, at least is 10 letters long and has a combination of letters, symbols, and numbers so that it will be next to impossible to do it again. Hope this helps =)

Sometimes people that are friends can hack into your profile if your password is too easy. Your best bet is to change everything back and then change your password. And when you are logging into your account on public computers make sure that the box that says save password is unchecked. I hope this helps.

Change your password. You probably got phished -- someone setup a page that looked like the myspace login and you typed your info in not knowing it was fake.

Well, somehow somebody got your password. Your best bet is to change your password and run a virus scan.

You have most likely been phished. Try changing your password and sweeping for malware that might be getting access to your personal info
One of the first things to do when you suspect malware is DISABLE System Restore.
If enabled, this allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself.
So, to disable it, RIGHT-click on "My Computer." Select "Properties" then under the 'System Restore' tab, check 'disable system restore' IF not already checked.
The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC.
The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate.
First, use Kaspersky's. (FYI: ALL these scans require you to agree to a EULA and install an activex control which is needed to perform the scan, so agree to them all.)
*NOTE: Some scanners ONLY work with IE or may not fully remove malware
http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/free-virus-scanner.php (KAV)
Then scan with:
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
There are MANY other good online scanners which you may choose to also use (which will take longer but ensure safety):
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm (Windows Live Onecare)
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/ax/ (A-squared scanner)
http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/ (ewido)
http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pest/scan.aspx (Spyware scan)
http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx (Virus scan)
http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ (Panda Antivirus)
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ (TrendMicro)
http://www.eset.com/threat-center/cac.php (Nod32 AV scan)
http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml (F-secure AV scan)
After using these, it's ESSENTIAL to install at least 3 antispywares. Do NOT use more than 1 antiVIRUS as they conflict.
The best things in life are FREE, and great free software can be found @:
Superantispyware.com (Superantispyware FREE version)
lavasoft.com (Ad-aware)
emsisoft.com (A-squared FREE)
safer-networking.org (Spybot S&D)
javacoolsoftware.com (SpywareBlaster, EULAlyzer, & MRU-Blaster)
microsoft.com (Windows Defender)
grisoft.com (AVG AV)
Avast.com (Avast AV)
free-av.com (Avira AV)
activevirusshield.com (AOL Virus Shield, which is basically Kaspersky for free)
siteadvisor.com (Tells you how safe websites are)
phoenixlabs.org (Peerguardian blocks malware, government, and anti-p2p org's)
zonealarm.com (Top Notch Firewall)
comodo.com (Another Top Notch firewall)
iobit.com (Advanced Windows Care)
Eusing.com (Safe Registry cleaner)
ccleaner.com (Junk file cleaner)
Now if you can afford it, the best software to BUY are:
Spy Sweeper
Security Task Manager
Norton AV (Takes a lot of CPU but it's nice if you can afford to use those resources up)
Nod32 AV
Kaspersky AV (BEST! =D )
Bitdefender AV
Sophos AV
F-secure (Same as Kaspersky)
Linkscanner (Blocks exploits in real time)
Advanced Uninstaller
*One other thing to consider is using another browser besides Internet Explorer. IE has a lot of security holes,
making it less safe than other browsers. I prefer Firefox from mozilla.org.
It's just as easy to use and has a lot of neat little add-ons you can toy around with. By itself, it is also safer from exploits than IE.*
As always, things will vary for you but I can assure you these things will help more than a lot.
Some things you can use together and others you can't. Some you will find harder to use or more 'pretty.'
Some may just not work for you and may be unfixable here on Yahoo Answers. I'm just here to help and hope the
best for everybody. As always, others may disagree but there's only one way to find things out---try it! As long
as you always have an UPDATED AV, AS, & firewall, things will go ok. Oh! And use your head when browsing the net.
Hope I was able to help and fix anything needed. If I have, please consider returning & leaving a nice comment and
"Best Answer" to whomever you thinks deserves it...
Chris ;)
