Call me paranoid, However I would never use some site to see if my email address was among those leaked, What a great way to harvest more emails to spam.

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

Ctrl +F should be enough to search the list Correct? It just seems to get done very fast... Then again it isn't really a difficult process especially for my rig, but to be safe i figured i should ask.

animal, could you search the list for a particular 6 letter combination for me, and tell me any addresses that come up containing it. That way i can know if mine is compromised.
thanks

Hi rp88, The file at the beginning of the thread is on the russian website under the name of https://forum.btcsec.com/index.php?/topic/9426-gmail-meniai-parol/ , I have downloaded the file myself and not been infected! You can do the same! . the file name is on a link named google_5000000.7z! It is in the form of a txt file but it is large you can open it and search for yourself to your hearts content!
I hope this helped!

I don't think i trust downloading it, i meant no offence when asking other people WHO HAD ALREADY DOWNLOADED IT to search it for me as IF it were infected they would already be infected therefore my request wouldn't increase the danger for them.
Thanks for your suggestion anyway "theforestspirit".
