I got one this morning from you. Opened it, clicked on the link and real quick got off the internet. Dumped all my unnecessary files and then did a complete scan and found nothing. I was going to send you a PM but forgot, sorry. :o

Doug,

My webmail account was hacked just a couple weeks ago. Everyone in my address book got dozens of spam emails, everything from pharmaceuticals from Canada to enlarging you know what!

Changing the password on the webmail account stopped the hacker.

I've since removed the address book on the webmail account. So even if they figure out my new password, the people I know shouldn't get any spam.

Mike...

Sorry about that Gage....I've changed my password, I don't do that very often.... This is exactly the stuff that keeps me from doing any of my personal banking stuff on line. I tried to send out a note to everyone one in my address book with a subject line of "don't open". Doug

Doug,

Sorry to hear you got hacked but thanks for the heads-up. I had all my business contacts backed up in gmail (over 600 entries) so I just deleted them. No need to share that stuff with the hackers.
