Hi guys,

I tried to login to my yahoo mail account and the browser is showing that someone somehow has logged in to an unknown email account from my pc. Can anyone tell me how is this possible? No one except me has access to this pc.

Thank You

Has anyone else used your system? Just remove the entry and that should do it.

Thanks for your answer. No one has used my pc. My problem is to figure out how this happened. I can only think 2 possible explanations. 1) Someone hacked into my pc 2) Someone injected cookies to my browser
