I'd my mail account hacked too, and I tried creating a junk ID as suggested by my friend. First, the mail account resisted creation of junk ids. Secondly, when I did create a junk id by trial and error, my contacts and I continued to recive junk mails. The funny part is that the junk mail id has also been included in 'To'addresses!And, the most important issue in changing the password is that one should not change password from the same infected computer. One must do that only from a computer that is not infected. I changed the password from my office computer. Hi Chad,

Thanks for your detailed article. But,your last step of introducing a junk Mail ID may not work. I’d my mail account hacked too, and I tried creating a junk ID as suggested by my friend. First, the mail account resisted creation of junk ids. Secondly, when I did create a junk id by trial and error, my contacts and I continued to recive junk mails. The funny part is that the junk mail id has also been included in ‘To’addresses!

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:56:29 +0000 http://www.worldstart.com/?p=18672#comment-58543 This very same thing has happened to me and a few of my friends too. Unfortunately AOL just told us to change our passwords! Can you imagine that? Just change your password? I knew there was more to it and I thank you guys very much for sharing the "whole solution". By the way, I'm also very ticked off at AT&T & AOL for not giving me any info on why I can "now" not play youtube videos without them continually stopping and starting! It's like they just want more money for me to "upgrade" my DSL account to a faster one! When I first got on AT&T'd DSL it was fast enough back then to play a whole 7 min. video without it stopping once, now it takes over 26 min. to watch the same video! Any Ideas, (besides upgrading)???

A friend's computer was hacked in the same way and was sending out messages to her contacts including me. Since her computer was rather old she bought a new one. Nothing was transferred from the old computer but I still get those same messages every once in a while and there are times when dialogue is added to the email. This suggests to me that someone has her contacts and can send email to them making it look like it came from her although how is beyond me. Do you have a comment on this?
