   I’m guessing the virus was a keylogger (a program that minutes your keystrokes and sends them to an send by e-mail). Run a virus scan on your PC to make sure it’s gone. Change your password/secret question and anything else that can be used to retrieve/log into your tab.

   Have you tried running an MRT – “Microsoft Malicious Software Confiscation Tool” on
   your computer. It naturally comes Preinstalled or one can download it from Microsoft.
   MRT will scan the entire hard disk and hunt down infected software.

   The Microsoft Malicious Software Confiscation Tool differs from an antivirus product in three key ways:
   *The tool removes malicious software from an already-infected computer. Antivirus harvest check malicious software from running on a computer. It is much more desirable to check malicious software from running on a computer than to remove it with infection.
   *The tool removes only specific prevalent malicious software. Specific prevalent malicious software is a small subset of all the malicious software that exists now.
   *The tool focuses on the detection and confiscation of active malicious software. Active malicious software is malicious software that is currently running on the computer. The tool cannot remove malicious software that is not running. But, an antivirus product can perform this task.

   click Start, click Run, type MRT, click OK. Allocate it to Scan your computer.

   IF you do not have MRT, you may securely download it here:

   Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday of each month.

   Run your Anti-Virus Scan With the MRT.

   AND…Yes, Change your Password along with the Security Question.

   Best of Luck to You.
