This makes me wonder if these ill-gotten passwords were obtained by "atdmt' via Windows Live.
The trouble I had w/spyware was related to Windows Live. Zep516 helped with HJT & Malware scans - found nothing, yet a search for "atdmt" found it buried like a backyard full of a dog's bones... even in backup files of old email. After removing Windows Live, AVG no longer warns of the "atdmt[2]' tracking cookie.
"I'm just sayin'..."

Very unlikely. They also hit Yahoo, Gmail and others. See here.
