This wasn't me!

How did someone hijack my address and send a message to this board?

The computer guys tell me my computer is OK.

So what gives?

, I've seen this happen to other people before. I've forgotten the

exact term for it in " internetese " but yes, your address was hijacked. I

don't know how it's done (hey, I'm a nice lady) but know that it _is_ done.

You'd think these geniouses would have better things to do with their time.

: You should change your passwords to all of your computer

programs and any website you are in that require passwords, like

and google, aol etc.

Hacker's can electronically lift a person's address (without totally

hacking into their computer) but your computer could be vunerable, so

change your passwords.

Someone either hacked your computer or you have a virus. Your

computer came with a disk which will do a system restore. It would

be a good idea to save anything you need on your computer and then

do this. When you are done it would be a good idea to put a firewall

on your computer and change your passwords. (If you read the ads in

the Sunday paper you can usually get one free after rebate.)

Rainbow, it is not at all clear to whom you are suggesting this since the email you sent went to the entire list. Are you saying has a virus on his computer? Probably a lot of us have firewalls and daily virus scanning and updates. Just wondering to whom you are speaking. It seems to me that 's email could have been picked off of any computer on the entire list which is not adequately protected.

Thanks,

a

It is not likely a virus. This happened to a friend of mine and it's called

" spoofing " . It is very possible that our friendly neighborhood hacker is

having a laugh. It _would_ be a good idea in any event to install a firewall

and change passwords now and then.

Best wishes to all.........Betsy

Sorry for not being more specific.. Since the topic was 's

computer that was what I was referring to. ( I am not a computer

expert and have not seen his computer.) Judging by what happened

someone hacked his account and possibly his computer. I was just

trying to help.

Have a good day!
