I think the computer I used was XP (SP3) if that helps. I would like to know if a malicious code on the SD card could have caused this or not.
The SD card in question has been used many times to transfer data in exactly the same way as I tried earlier. The phone which it came from has just been sent away for repairs after been seemingly completely dead. I am now wondering if something on the SD card had caused the phone to behave this way.
Any feedback appreciated.
I wanna know how anti-virus program work.
Also what is the difference between virus and malicious code(malware).
I’ve had the same google mail account for three years and have only changed the password once last year after someone hacked into it. At that time I changed the password and put two step verification on my account. I log in to it usually on a daily basis and today was no different. I logged in perfectly normal early this morning, then later in the afternoon when I tried to log in again it said, “Username/password incorrect”. I tried again, several times with the same results even though I’m positive this is the same username/password combo I have been using for a year.
I went through all of the steps for “forgot username or password” and it sent me an email with a link and it said to click the link to finish account recovery. When I click the link it brings me to a page saying that I have to enter my credit card information and pay a one or two dollar fee in order to recover my account.
Has anyone had a similar problem with gmail or does anyone have a contact that I can email to try to figure out what’s going on. As I said, my username and password has been the same for a year so I am positive I have that information right. I don’t have caps lock on, I don’t have a typo. I’ve tried several times and stared at the keyboard to make sure I’m typing everything in perfectly.
Any help is appreciated.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a virus, the url starts with google.support ect…
It says that it is a non-refundable fee to reset the account, one is a standard fee and one is a telephone fee. It automatically sends me this e-mail when I try to reset my password, it isn’t a pop up window or anything of the sort. I believe it can even be reached just by going to google mail support on their website.
