You've been hacked! You need to disconnect from the network, run antivirus, antispyware, etc. and make sure your antivirus and firewall are up-to-date and always running. Good luck! and my sympathy. No fun! Hugs and flowers, Lois

Monica, your address book was hijacked. Your computer is infected with a virus/trojan, you will need to get it out of there. Also, anyone who got e-mails from you had better have protection as well, because these things propagate in e-mails and may steal their whole address books too.

Please, please, when you are on the internet, you HAVE to have good, reliable anti-virus protection and firewalls!!! Get good, paid programs that update at least every day, and run them constantly. And keep one e-mail address just for things like embroidery sites, so if you do get infected you can shut it down!! Please be safe on the internet, these things are no joke, and you need to protect yourself.

Hugs, Marji

I feel your pain....this happened to me a few weeks back. They went to the extent of locking me out of my e-mail. It took Micro soft a few days to sort it out. BTW, I was running an up to date Paid virus program along with firewalls. They are getting smarter all the time. I am so gun shy that I am not saving anyone's address. I am writing down in an address book (back to the dark ages) lol
