Also make sure that your computer was not infected, So completely scan your System
Hi. I open this app and sign in my correct username and password but when i entered it, nothing appeared so I just closed it. Will the spammer still can used my twitter account for illegal activities? When I read this article, I immediately change my password on twitter.
Hi, No they can’t.. just make sure that your account details are correct.
I got the twitter message “you are famous now haha” and clicked on the link. It seemded that I still were on facebook, so I tried to install the “youtube player”, but the installation failed and the computer restarted. Then I saw that my anti virus blocked a lot of trojan horses, so I changed my twitter password.
Should I do something more or will my anti virus deal with it?

First of all, fully scan your computer with your updated antivirus. It is also possible that some keyloggers was installed on your computer, that can track your all single key stroke…
