If it claims to be from virigin media, just open your browser and navigate to your account as normal - no need to click on links in emails - its too risky these days!

It is also worth keeping an eye on your localhosts file (search on these forums, or google it) - to make sure you have not downloaded an attatchment that adds entries to this (if someone did edit your localhosts file, it could cause your browser to redirect you to another site whenether you try to go to virgin media's site (or paypal, or anyone else)...

Very good advice, Andyband,
