Thanks Cherry, good reminder to all of us. I usually run a full scan once a wk., at least when Iremember. Great way to stay on top of things. hugs, Vicky

This is really good info! One should never ever click on a link in an email (or otherwise) without knowing the person who sent it and where it is going. This is a classic method of transporting viruses.

It is so easy to hack ones email account just to send these sorts of nasty things. I really detest those who use their genius to destroy others property. These are the worst sort of people.

Thanks for the info. Hope your computer is OK now!

The strange part was that I DID know the person and there was a subject. I had no reason to believe it wasn't legit.

In the past, when I've received emails from friends that have ''no subject' at the top. I know it's trouble and delete immediately.

Thank God for my Norton anti-virus! Did the job.

Hugs,
Cherry

Cherry (and everyone)...this was posted at the Community board the other day..................

Also..............you might tell your friend to change her password on her email........my hubby's computer was attacked one time and sent out emails that appeared to be from him.....and contained a virus:(:(

Some of these hackers just have too much time on their hands:(:(

Oh yes...it can be a nightmare. Last year my email list was hacked and everyone started getting emails with a VIAGRA link from me!!!


Cherry (shaking my head)

ROTFLMAO......That was the SAME link that my hubby's email sent out.............LOL

I kinda questioned what kind of sites he had been visiting...........LOL

HA...get off the floor, girlfriend. The sites I visit are G rated! If I could buy my clothes from the Disney site, I'd be happy!

I hate getting viruses in my email and anywhere else for that matter.

This happened to me too.
