Fraudulent transaction on cc

in Credit cards
Hi all,
I just want to check i've done everythingI should have - My credit company alerted me that they had blocked a transaction from "Wiggles Ltd" (not sure what that could have been?) and have blocked the card and are sending me a new one - the fraudulent transaction was done online.
I've scanned mine and my girlfriends computers just now and found nothing. The weird thing is I havent used the card offline in ages, or online really in a while - any ideas if you often get a delay with these things? Is there anything else to check? All my other accounts seem ok atm.
(and don't worry, I rang my bank back using the right number rather than giving up any details in the initial alert call from them)

It could be from a compromised database somewhere or just plain old guess the card0

Yes, don't worry. It was probably nothing on your PC anyway.0

Stolen details are often held for weeks or months (remember they know your card expiry date). This makes it nearly impossible to pin-point the the transaction where your card details went astray unfortunately.0

There is an internet company called wiggle! Jogging /running stuff and outdoor pursuits equipment. Hope this may help.0

It could also be a mistake by Wiggle, transposition error when the card number was input and the address details didn't then match.0
