I Had A Virus - A Real One

[ronp]

Last night I checked my email and noticed I had 27 returned emails in my spam folder. I opened them to find they were undelieverable and weren't sent by me but I noticed they were from my address book. I deleted them and went back to what I was doing.

About one hour the same thing another 53.

I called AOL and was told she would reset my password.

Today I reset it back and things have been ok so far except for finding another 5 this am.

Other than that no weird popups or anything else.

This ever happened to anyone else? I did all the scans that I use including Mc Caffee, super anti spy ware, Adaware, ccrap, to find anything. If so what did you do?

Thanks.

I have never opened anything in the spam folder. Guess this is a good reason why.

I hate to say it but web based email and freeware get attacked, it just happens.

I got that email from you Ron and it looked like your AOL acct got hacked. I wouldnt change your password back to what it was because who ever hacked you has that information.

Thats what I was wondering Brian.

I got an email fro Ron also, but I did not open it.

If you block these emails, they seem to come at you with a vengeance!

Wow Ron,

You with Pneumonia & your PC with a Virus. Maybe you're just not used to living in that new state yet???
