I got so upset yesterday as my msn got hacked and had to change all my info. Be ware that this is going on a lot lately on the internet. Just don't understand why people think they need to do that. I was so lost yesterday as I couldn't go on the board. Good idea to make sure that you have a strong antivirus program and clean out your emails and junk files. It is not fun to go thru this! Now I can get back to quilting and posting.

I'm sorry this happen to you, it really sucks to have to figure out what they did and repair it.

I hope you get it all sorted out soon.

Happened to me too. Can't fiqure out why people want to do distroy other peoples computers. I am still having trouble with my e-mail account. Can't go to the Quilting Board from there. I wonder how much money is spent just trying to protect computers.

Sorry that happened to you. To bad they don't use their brains for something positive instead of trying to destroy other people things.

I can't understand why those people feel the need to mess up things, same for vandalism. I don't get how that is fun or entertaining. Wish they would spend their time doing something meaningful.

One of my email accounts got hijacked a couple of weeks ago. MSN recognized and addressed the issue before I even had a chance to contact them. The only thing I had to change was my password on that specific account. Some people just have too much time on their hands. (the ones doing the hacking/hijacking, that is).
