If anyone has or had received an email from my email address recently with a link attached, just go ahead and delete it as its Spam and NOT actually from me. It turns out that my Computer Address Book has been hacked. I've had my Computer tuned up just a few days ago so hopefully this problem will go away.
Sorry for any confusion for anyone who has received one of these Scam emails.:oops:
Any of you Computer Specialists out there know if there is anything else I can do to resolve this from my end? -Buddy.

Buddy - go to

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

download the free software, then run a scan and follow directions. It checks for spyware, trojans, etc.

yup... got that one :)

May be some kind of virus, like a worm type. Get it checked out.
Scrapped one of my pcs because of such a virus.

Thanks Marty, I downloaded that and used it a few hours ago. Hopefully, that will kill it.
But if any of you guys want to click on the Link that was spammed from my email address, it looks like they have some good prices on Viagra...:cool: Or so I'm told.

You're SOL.
The email addresses on ur AOL address book has already been harvested by spammers. Nothing you can do about it.
Remove all anti-virus/malware etc. And install MS Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx
After it is done installing/updating/full scanning; change ALL your passwords - especially your AOL email account password.

Made some changes yesterday and hopefully this will fix the problem. If any of you get any Spam from my email address TODAY, please let me know... Thx, Buddy.
