Joan, et al - Just turned on my computer to find my system has been attacked and a message of alarm sent to all my address book that I'm stranded in Europe and need help - send money etc. My address book is now empty - completely purged - my mail boxes are empty - and the files I've saved to AOL also. The false message has my name in the Subject line, and is apparently sent from "joanaspen@aol.com', as if I'm using her computer (whoever she is). Advice on how to proceed please.

See if that helps. Joan In a message dated 1/15/2010 11:18:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, roulx@aol.com writes: Walter, I use AOL 9.1. I spent a long time online with an AOL tech last night, and they had me run my virus program and change my password, the latter part I haven't done yet. I don't think they know what the problem is either. And after all that I got the repeat messages again this morning.
