Default Help! Possible virus

I arrived home from work with news from the kids that the computers are not working. I tried one and received a message this page can't be displayed (like when not connected to the internet). I tried the other and received a message similar to 'this computer is being controlled by 168.xx.xxx (some numbers).

I rebooted both. The first computer came up with a router configuration settings change wizard. The second came back with the same message of being controlled by another ip address.

I utilized the second computer and bypassed the router directly to the cable modum. I accessed the internet and am currently running pandasoftware virus scanner. I am running xp with service pack 2 and access the internet via netgear router and charter pipeline.

Should I be concerned about all my poker accounts and neteller passwords? I would hate to lose my money to a hacker. Is it safe to type in my email password that is utilized for my poker accounts and neteller? Thank you in advance for any advice!

Thank you,

Jim Kuhn
