Last night, a mass e-mail was sent to all of my contacts while I was asleep. I woke up to mailer demon telling me it had failed to send to certain people. It had a rapidshare link that was clearly a virus. It sent it to absolutely everyone, people I haven’t spoken with in literally years, and those I’ve just met. I deleted my original account and made a new one and changed my password on the new one just because I’m paranoid. I used MacScan and iAntivirus (all that was found were two tracking cookies, both were successfully deleted, but this still continues), but the details in my new gmail account still say that someone from an IP address completely different from mine is accessing my account from GA with IMAP. This same IP address was on the history of the account I deleted.
Is there anything I can do aside from using a scanner and changing my password?
If it helps any, the address is 208.54.94.15 even after getting rid of the tracking cookies, it still shows up in my gmail’s history and isn’t coming up as suspicious activity. I’m so confused.

This is the most redundant thing I’ve ever read… IP addresses don’t mean anything for one and everytime the server serves anybody any document on the server it creates a “Log.” Good hackers will delete their presence from the log on their way out. Which is how you know it’s not a hacker. So the Ip Address doesn’t mean anything…
Two, you can’t do anything. At All So Im wasting my time.
