Gmail account compromised!

My gmail account was compromised! My apologies if you have received a "personal email" from me about selling Viagra. The scary thing is besides not understanding how this will affect me, the activity information on my account. Most of the IP addresses made sense that is from my home computer but there was much activity from the following places:

Mobile India (59.90.141.169) Mar 10 (2 days ago)
Browser India (59.90.141.169) Mar 10 (2 days ago)
Mobile Guadeloupe (90.63.180.139) Mar 10 (2 days ago)

From Gmail Help:
If you see an IP address that differs greatly from your usual IP address, it could either mean that you've recently accessed your mail from a different location, or that someone else has accessed your mail.
... some mobile providers and internet proxies may also appear in your recent login history, and in some cases, may appear to come from a different geographic location than you are normally based in. (ok, so is that bad?)
If you're uncertain or you don't recognize the activity, this may be an indication that your account has been compromised via malware. Malware, also called badware, is malicious software that attempts to steal sensitive information from your computer, send spam, or commit fraud. This type of software is often bundled with other free downloads without your knowledge.
