Hello,
How do you know someone login to your account?
If its true as you thought, just clear all your browser cookies first.
Then change your email password and your security answer.
Use strong password by adding special character on your password.
Don't forget to change seoclerks password and using any special characters.
Thanks.

To avoid getting any account getting hacked it's pretty simple stuff.

-Don't download clearly not safe files
-Don't visit any clearly not safe websites
-Don't tell anyone your password
-Don't make your something that personally relates to you
-Be wary of the URL bar, making sure it's the correct site if you've been directed anywhere from a member

If you don't do those things it's extremely unlikely you will ever get hacked in any form on any website.

If nothing in your account has changed then I cannot imagine why you think you've been hacked but if you think you have spyware on your computer I would suggest an Anti Virus program, although I would hope you would already have one of those installed. If you don't then AVG Free or the free version of Anti Malware Bytes are both effective.

Hello,

There is browser add-ons/plugins available to tell you if a website is safe or not. However, these programs are free and generally great to help secure your computer:

Avast Anti-virus [Highly Recommended]
Malwarebytes Anti-malware [Moderately Recommended - trial?]
Microsoft Security Essentials [Recommended for Windows PC]

Make sure to run a virus scan at least once a week. There is further methods to help, such as block pesky malware from advertising networks by URL, but this method is for more advanced users. If you'd like to use this little method for extra security, simply Google: "block ads with host file" - however use at your own risk!

Best Regards,
Everett

If it's about your blog on wordpress or joomla then you can use the plugin such as the Sucuri. And it can add up more on the point of the link building. You should consider improving the security of the blog this way. I have realized that this plugin alone can save up from lot of your website hacking headaches. And in such case the amount of money being paid is not much of an hassle there as well.

You may want to also make sure that your desktop has proper antivirus, anti malware and the anti spyware too. Those software can protect you from the issues that may cause your system to behave in a bad way. In such context you can see that being hacked is not possible if you cover the security side.

I have never been hacked since I read this little secret whenever you're signing up online always use along with word different symbols, characters and numbers.this might make it a little bit harder for a hacker to easily guess your password.

Then again guard your password jealously, don't give out indiscriminately, be cautious of the sites you input your emails and be sure of the sites you download files from.

This is a nice discussion because we should all be aware of the risk of hacking. Any website can be hacked much more with accounts like email and social media. If we are not really careful in the upkeep of the accounts then it can possibly be hacked. With the website, I guess you have to install a stronger software to prevent hacking.
