Hey all, I dont know how or when, but my email was hacked, its sending out emails to people on my contact list, I have deleted all of my contacts, and did a system restore, from what I figure, I got it either from this site or rumrunner, they are the only sites I have been on in the last couple of month's, hell this is my first time on this site in almost a month, sorry for any headaches Paul

bummer.

I wager a box of twinkies it didnt originate here.

80+% of mass mailing worms embed themselves 7+ days time before activation .. thus they're now part of your system restore backups.
I wager coffee to go with the twinkies.. you've still got worms

Antiviral programs are a must... use a reputable online scan engine, or go buy one !

I have Norton 360, I think its fixed, did a full scan, deleted all my contacts.... so far so good

I had the same problem a few months ago. I do have Norton. I just had to change the password for my email server and all is good.
