I am with Virgin Media, i have 5 VMe-mail addresses and every so often i get an e-mail entitled
New sign-in from Chrome on Windows when i log into my virgin e-mail.
the e-mails start with
"Your Google Account [email protected] was just used to sign in from Chrome on Windows."
but its a virgin e-mail account, it isn't a google account, so how and why are google tracking me logging into my VM accounts, and why are they identifying my VM e-mail account as a google account.
As an example
from google 30th sept
the e-mail proposes the email account was logged into in cheshire as follows
Windows

Cheshire East, UK*
Chrome
there is also an attatchement symbol on the email ( paper clip ) which i never click on.
I do not live in Cheshire.
is there a way i can look at the attachment safetly ?
Sometimes when i try to log into Steam, the Steam system asks me to validate my account because it thinks i'm logging in from a new machine
so steam sends me a special log in code to my email address that i have to use to login with.
Whenever this occurs steam always identifies my steam account as being located on a machine located in cheshire
Chesire in both cases - any ideas, is this dangerous.
