Malware comes to your PC when you download a software program from an untrustworthy source. So it becomes an extremely important task to clean your PC by scanning it for viruses or malware. Make sure you do this job before changing or resetting your password. In this way, a hacker can’t get your password to hack your account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
