> my email address, is shared with a famous (in a bad way) world leader Kim Jong Il? Brute forcing gmail is not really feasible, especially not if you have a decent password in place. I suspect that they would just put up a captcha and maybe slow down the login process if you fail too many times. If your computer is compromised and you keep using the system to either login or change your password then that password will continue to get compromised. In many ways you are also best off to reimage your PC and create a completely new gmail account. If the account was sending too many nasty things then it may be on various blacklists already, which will just affect your ongoing usage of it.
