Websense announced in February that Google’s CAPTCHA busted in recent spammer tactic. This came right on the heels of bots breaking the Live Hotmail CATTCHA system. With my gmail account compromised a few weeks ago, I began looking into the likely ways this was done and and I believe there was a good chance it was via a bot attack. I have found no evidence of spyware on any of the machines I use. Change your passwords and check into your mail accounts often. You may also want to keep notes on when you opened the account and the email address you gave as a backup. These are things Google will use to return access to the account to you.
