I have quite a weird problem with gmail. When I book tickets for a movie for Sky, times+ or the telegraph and they send the ticket to my gmail account, in the email that they send the ticket bit that is about halfway down often shows up as a completely different film which I already have in my inbox? For example I got tickets for Titantic in 3D through the times this morning, but in the email it is showing up as my Young Adult ticket with Sky at the O2!

Does anyone know what on earth is going on and how I can stop it? This happens both in gmail on my PC and my iPhone. Thanks!

Yes I can ways retrieve it via the "click here" link. It's just a little something that bugs me and I wondered if anyone else had had the same issue :)

Not certain it will work but suggest you clear all of your cinema type cookies as it sounds like they are corrupted.

It's the second time I see my computer mouse (arrow? on the screen) flashing - which usually happens when someone takes control of my computer from another computer (I had to do that when I had problems on my last computer).
Then when I open a Firefox window, I have an add poping out of nowhere.
The first time, I was talking to my sister on Skype and wrote what was happening, saying 'it's like someone is controling my computer', then it stopped. This time, same thing.

Either I have a f**king virus on my computer, or someone's trying to make me crazy - or I am crazy.
Or maybe my computer is simply... tired? :(
If anyone has a clue...

I suspect a virus which allows someone to remote control your pc, or at least keylog everything so when you type a password, someone else then has it. When was the last time you ran an AV scan?

Doing it right now as it scares me :(

A few weeks ago I had a really bad virus and my flatmate (an IT nerd) spent two or three hours fixing everything. Since then, no problem. But knowing that somebody might control my computer is scary. I guess I should change my passwords and everything...?
