If anyone here has emailed me or is dealing with me on some parts. Please return a messege to me with as many of the previous emails attached.

 

I was viewing my inbox this morning and the whole thing went blank. :x it looks like it was deleted. i may have gotten some type of virus this morning.

 

I did get an email this morning that seemed strange from Spirit, i think it was titled something funny? or interesting pics? I`m not really sure,about the subject title but i am sure about the authors name.

 

Just giving a heads up to anyone else that might recieve the same email.

 

I will try later today to go thru my sent box to figure out what/who i owe money or parts to.

 

Please forward any replies to my hotmail account until I get this figured out. Does anyone have an idea what might have happened?

If I go to my local folders in outlook express, it reads that i have 0 unread and 156 total, but nothing shows up when I go to my inbox. :x

It sounds like a virus. I got an email that claimed to be from Dan Juday that had the Klez virus attached. It wasn't from Dan, so somebody on the board here has the Klez virus. I'd guess that's where the email you got came from. If you're not running Norton Antivurs GET IT RIGHT AWAY !!!!!. And be sure to run the Live update as often as possible (if you're on DSL or Cable set it to run Live Update automatically).

Try this site it may help you. It's an online virus scan, if you don't have a virus scan like norton

 

I recently recieve suspisious email with an attachment, but didn't open it. Then to be on the safe side I did an online virus scan. This is the site that I conducted the scan from http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

 

It may help determan which files have been infected if you do have a virus.

I got it fixed. :-D Apparently my 3 yr old was messing with my pc while I was in the garage.

He somehow reset my outlook express to hide all read posts. I have never used that setting so it scared the hell out of me when everything went blank. :oops:

I do have norton(due soonfor renewal)that has done very well at stopping virus`s. I was scared that it had expired and one got thru.

 

Thanks for the input though. :wink:
