Re: [Audyssey] virus alert! on list
FYI. It was probably one of your friends that did that, because no virus or email hacking would not even bother doing something like that. But your friends at school would. Viruses either send out email, attack web sites, or try to crash your computer. Last post Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] virus alert! on list
well my friend got spam sent through his account. his account was not hacked, there are services where you can mimic someone elses email address. All you need to do is trick the recieving email program that you are another address. If you are scared you can always change your password. As long as you keep your antivirus and windows and other programs up to date and your protection on then you should feel better or rather be as safe as you can be. If you still feel scared, you can reformat every few months. It won't do anything really but it may make you feel happier. Ofcause it goes without saying if you use any ms account they are always targeted. gmail is really good from the get go. You may need sight to set up the account due to recapcha being a real pig but once done its really good. If you are that scared put the 2 step varification which sends codes at your phone whenever you want to access it. you will need passwords for each app though. If you are really paranoid like me, don't link anything to your gmail. I have aol for aim, and my printer company for support but twitter I don't have same with facebook, I have an apple account but my email is not listed.

Re: [Audyssey] virus alert! on list
Oh no, I think it might have been me whose account was hacked...I'm so sorry that this happened, I know it's not my fault, but I feel terrible about it. But I just logged into my email account about 10 minutes ago and saw that my inbox was flooded with all these spam messages that I had apparently sent out to all the lists I'm subscribed to, along with everyone else. So I'm doing my best to clean up the damage, I've changed my password, and I hope that takes care of it. Again, I sincerely apologize.

Ah, fair enough. I was just concerned sinse it looked like a rather dodgy link, though of course anyone can have problems that way just as a consequence of using a computer.

Hi Tom.
