| I want to say sorry to any of you that received e-mails from me with the subeject "Mary Van Dijk" My e-mail was hacked and messages were sent to everyone in my address book. The message is simply a link...DO NOT OPEN IT.... I have scanned my computer and have no viruses and changed my passwords so hopefully this will not happen again. Maryv |

| It would be so nice if these jerks put all this effort into honest work instead of hacking people's e-mails. I haven't gotten one, but thanks for the heads up. beverly |

| I checked my history of locations where my e-mail had been signed in. Someone signed in from California....I have never been there. I have deleted it as an approved location and will be checking my history and settings more often. |

| tuppermom, Curious, how do you check that. I'm in California, but obviously not using your email! LindaB/CA |

| How disturbing! I've been lucky, considering how many sites I visit and how many email connections I have, but I know so many people who have had this problem including my DH. Thanks for letting us know so we can watch for it! Kate |

| I know people with e-mail other than Yahoo who have had problems but this bout seems to be mostly Yahoo. I know that the Yahoo groups I am a member of have been having issues with all of the spam for a few weeks. LindaB: I have yahoo e-mail so I go to Mail->account information->account settings->view/update saved locations. Maryv |

| Just happened to me, and the only other group I follow is facebook. I hate web based email and that's what the new computers force you into. Thankfully I know the routine and nipped it in the bud, but lots of users aren't as geeky and it's a giant pain in the butt. |
