I need some advice. Just this morning I received and email from Paypal stating the following:
Dear Paypal Member.
"We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to belive that your account was hijacked by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you.
If you are the rightful holder of the account you must click the link below and then complete all steps from the following page as we try to verify your identity.

Protecting the security of your PayPal account is our primary concern, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter."
Do you think this is legit? I haven't clicked on the link yet as now I'm pretty paranoid about these types of things
Should I do another System Restore as the one I did last night would still have the virus on it?
I have tried twice in the past, on different days and different times, to make a donation to your site...
Why wouldn't my eTrust antivirus have blocked the virus and why would the antivirus not remove it. I thought that was what it did?
How can I keep this from happening again?
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Consumes no system resources.
Return to Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my!
