Potential Virus Warning
 

I've received 2 emails this morning purportedly from "William Varone" that look to me like they have links to something nefarious. It appears that there are a lot of names in the "to" list.

Bill, perhaps some of your security was breached.

Me too, wierd , William, not Bill.

Something similar happened to me several weeks ago. I was able to end it by changing my AOL password

It wasn't me! Just say no to Canadian drug ties.

Seriously, Bill ... I'll let you know if more spam email comes through. Changing your AOL password from time to time should do the trick. FWIW, I get hundreds of such from lots of folks I know all the time. If you use a major, free email provider, presume that it will happen sooner or later (so just get rid of those embarrassing email addresses in your book :o).

Good luck Bill.

i tried to open 1 also and my computer locked for a few but all things back to normal. i got 3 from william varone and i deleted them. happened to me several years ago but the hackers sent out porno. boy did i get hate and i mean hate e-mail for a while.

ps bill i'll send you my bill for repair work if needed:p
psps just kidding:)

Thanks for the heads up!
I use 'MailWasher Pro' software to see all my emails before I download in my
Outlook. I see these two emails from william varone and I promptly deleted them.

I agree with Ted. Changing your password regularly is a good idea. Also, don't use the same password for more than one site.

Generally, I use 20 character passwords (or more) for sites that deal with my money. It's a good idea to use upper case, lower case and numbers.

You can copy and paste the password from notepad so you don't have to hassle with typing all those characters.

This is what I use:
