I'm on a different computer right now. I was shopping yesterday on various sites with paypal and today, I received spyware. It was stupid of me to turn off my computer while having my paypal ebay account still on. What should I do now? Should I leave that computer off? Are they still able to get information? Is it possible that they know my credit card number? Should I contact my credit card company? I'm freaking out. HELP!

Even if you have got spyware, all payment are done via encrypted channel. Spyware collects data of the websites you visited, and not the passwords/card numbers. Besides, since you switched the PC off, all sessions have been lost (that is, log in expired). So you can safely turn up the puter and do a thorough online scan:

That will give you the necessary info and clear your doubts.
