I rarely leave the house these days.

Well, I changed my password, scanned my computer for adware and spyware, etcetera

Either way, I never had that happen before, though I'm usually cautious. But I guess I wasn't cautious enough.

Have you accessed your G-Mail account at any time over an unsecure wireless network?

I would immediately change your password to include one letter, one number, one special character, and have a length of at least eight characters. After that, change your email address to one provided to you through your internet provider.

The IP that posted those messages was definately not the one you regularly use.

No, I only access it from this computer and I don't have a wireless connection set up.

I've already changed both my forum and gmail account passwords.

Oddly enough, they seem to be bot advertisement threads. Kinda strange for someone to "hijack" it just to post 2 threads with a link in it.
