Received notification from AT&T that my email was compromised.  It appeared 
after John's email.  Showed me that I got hacked at 10:49 p.m. from someone in 
Japan.
 
Changed email password to something I hope I can remember.  :)
 
Thanks Michael and John.
 
Still running the virus scanner tonight when I get home.
 
Take care and have a nice day,
 
Lonnie...

John is right. It's happened to me as well, and all I had to do was change my 
password and it cleared things up.

What you need to do is change your password.  It's happened to a lot of people.

Hello Everyone,

The previous message from me was not sent by me.

Nothing strange came in on email.

The only thing different in my normal routine is that I played Fried Slots - St 
Louis by Fried Okra and enlarged a couple of pictures in the FB Geocaching 
area.  Not sure how I caught this thing.

Need to figure out how to clean my machine tonight when I get home.  

Did not see the message in my sent box or deleted files when I checked.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Take care and have a nice day,

Lonnie...
