Computer Bug
« on: March 15, 2013, 01:25:12 PM »
If any of you get an email from my de_lok at yahoo address please do not open, delete it. I got some kind of bug on my laptop today and am having it fixed. Had to borrow my wife's iPad to make this post! It is copying my contacts and forwarding to that contacts address, if opened it will install a virus. 


Computers, can't live withum, can't live withoutum!


PS
I hope to post new updates on my Remember the Maine project soon.

In the past almost 15 years my email has only been hacked twice, and one of them was today! I am very diligent at keeping my PC clean and careful to avoid risky websites and emails, but damn, it still happens from time to time. I hope none of my friends here were contacted from my email by this bug. My pc is fixed and healthy again............................................

Too late...I already opened it...I sent you a PM...I should have gone here first instead of my Email....however, Norton caught it....so, should not be a problem...

After my last hack, I put a trap on all my emails...  any hacker that grabs my address book will send a notice to myself.  So I'll know I've been hacked immediately!   I'll let you know how it works next time.

I got it and opened it as well, but my anti virus stopped it before it did anything.
