Re: [californiadisasters] Emails

Downloading gobs of mal ware protection crap is not the answer either. BUYING a good virus protection suite, keeping it up to date, running it DAILY and the use of STRONG passwords is a start and guess what... you're still gonna get hit every now and again. it is much like living in LA for say 50 years the earth will shake, live in Kansas for 50 years you will see a tornado, live in Maine for 50 years a blizzard etc etc etc.

 

You can not avoid it but you can mitigate it.

No it's not the solution. Please download an anti-spyware application (Ad Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy (Kolla), or Iobit's security 360). This happened to me and when I installed Security 360, it cleaned the nasty bugger off my hard drive. Microsoft's Security Essentials is somewhat good as well. It is spyware that's attached itself to your emails.

Happened to me as well.  So the solution is to change the password?
