Some stupid advertising company got into my address book and sent some shopping message to everybody in my book, including everybody in the CH music loop....so I have been sending you this reply just so you know:<br><br><i>...I did not send this email that looks like some type of spam...then the question is: how the hell did it happen?...looks like it was sent to everyone in my address book...so how did somebody get into my address book?...what else do I need to worry about, my bank account, credit cards???...yikes...I feel violated!</i><br><br>
sorry, but dammit, now what do I do?

 

[Be Smiz]

yeah...I got that too.<br><br>
Is it a virus?<br><br>
I opened it because I thought it was from you.

It didn't go to my email address. Run a complete virus scan, adware scan, etc. You do have an antivirus program and the like, don't you?<br><br>
If not go to the following website for a free online scan:<br><br><a href="http://housecall.trendmicro.com/" target="_blank">http://housecall.trendmicro.com/</a><br><br>
And see if anything turns up. Trendmicro is a good company with a solid product.

Poor Brian. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad"> That happened to me once before too. I contacted gmail and they did something that took care of it.

 

[ElDuderino]

Gmail has awesome spammage filters. I never saw the email.

Are you running an anti-virus on your system with a real time scanner, and do you have AdAware 2007 or a similar malware program installed?

 

[sierra]

Are you serious???<br><br>
