I failed to look at the title edit on this post during my previous login. The point to note here is that my account was not 'hacked', it was only multiple attempts. The hacker who tried to get into my google account was spotted by Google, with location and IP address of his PC. They have mailed me the details. Google is highly secure and a good service in that case. I had immediately switched to 2 step verification which led to more security. I think the title should be edited again #-Link-Snipped-#The_Big_KWhen someone uploads a photo to any open platform; be it Facebook or any other service, one must be aware of the potential exploits. It's become very easier for anyone to get access other's photos and use them in any way they want. I've never uploaded any of my own photos on social networking websites. I was compelled to use my headshot by Google (as a part of their authorship program) and that's why I've this photo that uploaded on my own on the Internet. I don't think I'll ever upload any of the personal photos online.
Getting back on the track - hacking into Gmail isn't very easy, I'm not saying it's impossible. It requires a very seasoned cracker who can really break into other's account bypassing security.
Remember to 'log-out' of all your sessions by clicking on the button in step #4 I suggested. Without properly logging out of Google account; your other steps may not prove very useful. I'd not rely on spyware checkers very much. You could quickly perform an eye-scan on the processes that are running on your machine that look suspicious. Note that the hackers usually make a spy-process that is very similar to the original authentic process (ieexplore vs ieeexplore) - which are difficult to catch.
Perform a cleanup and don't use USB drives that you've used on other machines. That's also one of the ways through which the malware spreads.

I downloaded and used Spybot, and I like it's uniqueness. I'm trying to download Hijack this now.ianoopNever used Glary Utility ..... It is like Tune Up utilities for performance and registry fix.
Spybot is kind of antivirus which focuses on spyware only, and Hijack This is overall system analyzer if there any problem with your system. It report about all the system software , start up including trusted software too. Many of them may not be really problem. So leave the trusted softwares and fix unidentified problems.
Trying to hack your ID and your using your friends photo... I think hacker is one the person who knows about you.Two step verification surely helps you to get the rid out of this problem.
Publishing photos to public is one of major side effect of internet and quite disturbing too.
If it is used on Facebook kind of social networking only way to deal this problem is marking spam by all your friend circle to that profile and report to site about it.

Yes Hotmail has that kind of a system. Yet I'm not able to get in touch with my friend. I've informed few other closer friends to inform her of the situation. The hacker is still online, and I'm trying to get my friend's contact information. I've pinged her on Facebook, but if her facebook account is hacked too, then my mission would be compromised. So just awaiting her response for the time being.ianoopDid your friend used all forget password option.
there is one option to give a new Hotmail email id if recovery email is also changed.
Try to dig some outlook forum about it.
One of my friend able to recover his Gmail account via some alternate option in which Gmail asked for account creation date, frequent mail id etc.May be Hotmail also have some kind of option like Gmail have.
