Hi surekharthi, Immediately go to facebook and log in if you can. Immediately change your password there. Then go to your gmail and do the same. This should resolve it for you and not have to further worry. If you can log in there is no problem and it is a fake message. If it was changed and your gmail is associated with your PayPal or AlertPay and or any payment processors change them too. Make sure none of them are the same passwords. This happens to a lot of people upon viewing fake emails. Always make sure to look at the top URL to see if it is https of not then it is always presumed to be fake and or a scam.

Did you remove the fake malware after the scanning. If not you can use malaware.org. It is free and usually catches all malaware and removes it.
