RE: Think Im Being Hacked.
What's with the knee-jerk 'ZOMG! HAXXORZ!' reaction? Let's list the ways this could happen without the use of hacks:
1. Other users on the same PC could have used those smileys frequently.
2. The smiley usage stats are corrupted or just plain wrong.
3. Ouija_46 has simply forgotten that she used them.

See? Three simple explanations, none of which invlove panicky security over-reactions.

As someone who works with computers all day, I can say with full conviction that most of the time, all that's happened is you've just made an honest mistake.
