I fully disagree with the other two previous posts.
if you have essential information in your email ,you should take control of
it again (at least try to do this).After performing the instructions
below,inform your friends and colleagues you have a conversation with about
what happended to you because of the hacker.
1.Check your personal computer for all kind of threats.Nowadays there are
many trojans ,keyloggers or spyware that are very dangerous
.Trojan-keyloggers are the most dangerous in your case because if you have it
,it saves EVERY keystrock you do on your keyboard.
2.Make your PC more secure
3.Chane your password and security question and make them more secure
4.Report your problem to MSN.
