Del PraterMy e-mail got hacked
Guys, Just wanted to let you no my e-mail got hacked and the knuckle heads sent out a e-mail to my address book about me being in trouble. I am fine.
I changed my e-mail password anything else I need to do to fix the problem. First time I have had this happen. Thanks for all of your PM's. Del

Matt NormanDel, I got one of your emails and recognized it for what it was. Had the same thing happen to me last week.
P.S. I'm told changing the password to your email account resolves the spybot problem.

SevensIn addition to changing your password (and pick a hard one; numbers, letters, and special characters), you should check your settings, make sure nothing else was changed (like answers to security questions and such).
Not sure who you use, but Gmail has a great security verification program whereby when you log on to a computer it is not familiar with, it will text you a security code. You need the security code in addition to your usual password to log on. In theory, if someone tries to hack you computer in Malaysia, for example, the security code will be sent to you, thus preventing them from getting in.
