I'd contact CS to make sure there was no issue.
There is a chance the system failed to log you out correctly and has considered your account logged in since your last play session.
I've encountered this message many times, but it's usually after a game crash. Since you don't log out cleanly from a game crash, sometimes my toon stays logged in. Once I get the game up and running again and try logging back in, I get that message "This account is already logged in", which then proceeds to kick out my account. Then I can click on OK and proceed to log in as normal. Not sure if you're experiencing the same exact scenario though.

This wouldn't be it; I hadn't been logged in since the night before.

I've gotten the "This account is already logged in" message on a number of occasions. It sometimes happens if I log out of one character and go to log into another (sometimes the in game countdown is out of sync with the server one), or if I crash to desktop or mapserver. It usually just means that the last time the server was actively keeping track of your account, it was logged in. If you're really worried though, I would change your password just to be safe.
Edit: Ah, you already did change you password....well, if a scan doesn't turn up anything, there really shouldn't be anything to worry about, especially if your characters are intact.
I've had that happen numerous times, usually after a mapserver or hard crash to desktop. Sometimes, if I log the same toon on, the powers that I had running when I crashed were still running. I've even had times when my last tells were still active and if I hit backspace, I could send a tell to the last player I was chatting with. O.o
I've also noticed that it takes forever to actually log off the game. My PC activity light will keep flashing for a minute or 2 after I'm already at the desktop, while CoH shuts down.

I just had something happen that puzzled me.
While logging in, I clicked on my chosen server and came to the Character Selection Screen. I click on the toon I was going to play but once I did I was kicked from the game, getting the message
"This account is already logged in"
And that puzzled me.
Now, login bugs are nothing new to me, about 1 in 10 logins I get kicked out with the message "You are trying to login in an unsupported manner". That's what I usually get. When I do, I just log back in and everything is fine.
This message, however, I haven't gotten before. Not without telling my partner to log into my account while testing things.
This could mean someone hacked my account and was on my characters; nobody but my partner knows my name/pass and he's at work. And, after checking, all my characters are still there and their "Logged Out for X Days" numbers are intact. If someone really was logging into my characters he must have just done it or was logging into my most recently played toons.
What I'm asking is, could this just have been a random bug like the "Unsupported Manner" message? Has anyone else gotten the "Already logged in" message even when your account isn't logged in?
I've already changed my password for safety's sake, and so far my scanner hasn't picked up any key loggers or viruses or anything of that sort (yet).
