Be sure to also check your computer for viruses/trojans/spyware. Otherwise, it

might happen again.

This is a common virus or trojan attack on your computer not your email

supplier. It arrives either in an email or more often as an email attachment

that when opened infects your computer and sends out the email. Also when you

visit certain web sites the same thing happens. It is very important to have a

current, active, good quality, anti-virus program running at all times. If you

just change your email address it WILL happen again, you need to disinfect your

computer and update your anti-virus software with the latest from the

manufacturer to catch the new bugs. Your anti-virus program should notify you

each time, when a virus is trying to invade your system.

Good luck,
