I'm not well versed in PC viruses but I think this could be important. Last night I was just surfing facebook before I fell asleep with my HP windows xp netbook, I left it on and when I woke up in the middle of the night I saw that it was on the homescreen which was strange to begin with, but 5am i'm not so alert... But anyways I proceed to enter my password and it says it is incorrect. So i'm like... o h f u c k...

Luckily I have no personal files on this netbook that would be a hacker's delight. It's only for facebook/msn/mundane internet surfing... not even youtube LOL
Since I found this out I changed all my fb/email passwords.

What is the next step to take?
