Wilma Your computer is infected with malware - not as serious as a virus, but very irritating. It is sending out messages to everyone in your address book. It is easy to fix. Go to www.malwarebytes.org Download the FREE version of Malwarebytes. Install it and run a scan. Just in case, run a second scan. This should do the trick. If it does not, change your password. The pro version of Malwarebytes is $25 I think - it will protect against future invasions. Other people on MOBERRY should NOT click on the link in Wilma's messages. If you have already done so, follow the instructions above.

Getting an antispyware program is very good advice, but I have a question. When you say change your password, what are you referring to? The password to your email program? This might help if one is using gmail, but if it's Windows mail, then I can't see how that will help. I've seen other people give this advice on other lists and I can't quite figure out what they are referring to. If the problem is a malware program installed on one's computer then changing a password is not going to do much good. The malware is probably lurking in the registry or hiding within another program. It's IN the OS software itself. Then the only cure is to remove it with a removal program. Sadly, some of these infections are so devious and hard to get at that it must be manually removed. My brother-in-law is a software engineer who makes his living doing this sort of thing. He told me that one of his corporate clients had an infection that took him a full day to locate and remove. It was in the registry. Malwarebytes is a good choice. And Microsoft has a list or approved antispyware programs on its website in the security section. Most of them require a fee, but in my experience it's well worth the price. I use Spyware Doctor, but that's my personal preference. I like the user interface and they update their database daily. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: lwilson181@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 8:54 AM To: wfields55@hotmail.com ; mobarry@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOBARRY] Malware Infection Wilma Your computer is infected with malware - not as serious as a virus, but very irritating.
