MS Security Essentials is hardly a speed bump to security threats, let alone a good perimeter defense. MSSE faired the worst out of a recent (last year) round up on AV products. Do Not Rely on MS Security Essentials pleeeeeze.

Change all of your passwords - particularly email.

But as mentioned elsewhere their is plenty of email spoofing going on, including that of lists. Twenty years fo scanning massive email lists and about every email address and the ones they associate with are known to spammers.

Question HEY BOSS

i was noticing that there are now
double underlined words in different posts
that are advertisements for a variety of things.

Is this something new to S-B or what?

i know about the changing banner is essentially
where you've last been surfing ect.
but what about the double underlined in Blue words?

Thanks for the advice, guys. Jenn called AOL directly ans they said that they're working on it. Just change the password.

Has anyone suggested getting rid of the AOL account? I know a lot of people have a hard time with it (my future mother in law included) but there are a lot of other providers out there that give you significantly more value for your account. That and they are typically further ahead of the curve with identifying and remediating issues like these.
