Well, if you was not using a proxy server then someone discovered your password. How he/she/it did it is a big question. Changing the password probably will solve the problem.
Is a good advice to run some antivirus to scan your whole hard disk. The problem with anti-virus is that they are only able to find virus known by the anti-virus. If the virus is a fresh new one the anti-virus will not find it. The virus must be known for anti-virus work. Also sometime the anti-virus software finds a virus in something that is not a virus and is an headache to make the anti-virus shut up its mouth.
A good practice is to open the task manager in administrator mode aand look at all the tasks and services that are runing in your computer. You will see a lot of runing tasks and if you have little experience with this you will not know what is this. With time you will discover what is each service and to whom it belongs.
Once you have a good experience knowing all the tasks, it is very easy to discover a virus, a spy or anything else that some program has installed without your knowledge (Google update, hollyschit notification, blah, blah, blah).
Stupidity also evolves!
