Change your password on your email, someone hacked it.

Already did. I may have to change everything. This happened twice before and I was told the server was hacked. It happened to me on Yahoo and Gmail. I guess from now on I'll be keeping my contacts written on a piece of paper. Hackers SUCK!!!

Make it more complicated...use numbers, capital letters and special characters...stop using simple passwords

Go fuch yourselves!!

That's good advice and I've changed a lot of stuff around. On other sites as well. I was told though that they didn't attack my computer but hacked the email server. I don't know enough to know how true that is but I changed my password anyway and I always log off each time instead of staying constantly logged on. I've also thought about making a hard copy of my contacts and deleting them from my email site. When I was with Yahoo, my contacts actually disappeared from my computer. What a PITA!!

Elliot, your missing the point. It doesn't matter which search engine or ISP you use. As much as you frequent those places you can expect these kind of problems. Buy you books and more books; and all you want to do is eat the teacher.

I'm not missing the point, it's right on the top of your head. Which of "those places" do you think I am frequenting? Twice I was told, the problem wasn't with my computer but the email server had been hacked.
