So a few days ago i noticed my twitter was suspended and i was confused. Today i found out why. I scrolled a bit down only to find some quite awful tweets with some links in them, and they were apperently from me... (i did not post them). So now i am afraid that i may have virus on my computer. I do not care about my twitter what so ever, i just do not want to give the hackers private information.

Is there any way to check where the hacker was from and maybe pass those details on to someone else??

You could check any apps you have given access to. Click the Gear icon, then Settings and then Apps. If there's anything you don't recognise there, just hit Revoke access.

 

Hopefully this is all you have to do to find out what you need.

And you've scanned. Also, it seems more likely that someone has you Twitter password or you left your phone unattended or something simple like that

It did go on for 2 days, also i have no phone that has twitter on it. I never really use twitter, so i have no idea how anyone would have gotten my password. There is alot of bad shit in the tweets, and links in them. Do you think i should send them to some place where they can find out about the hacker or something?

No reason for more than antivirus program.. They will just conflict

Well i have read that malwarebytes, superantispyware and avast will work together. As long as only one of them is doing real time scanning.

There aren't many places that will be willing to offer assistance unless you have a number of followers. It will be easier to just start a new Twitter account with a stronger password
