Sorry Sergio, I had to edit your post. I didn't need that trojan URL posted in the message board for more victims to follow it.

while were on this subject maybe we all can get something good to learn -ive had mine spoofed before also and seen it many times i bet most of us have seen this

a question maybe for starting (another thread) but some of the computer experts might describe what to do and fix this once a persons email sends something they didnt send im all ears thanks

If this happens to you,change your email password..It happened to me and this fixed it.

One thing you can do is use a strong password to start with. If your password is a single word it will be easily hacked with an automated script that just uses a word list to guess your password.

Read this article on how to create a "strong" password:

I have gotten emails from different growers addresses with the same problem. I had to start being careful and reading the subject title.

Agree with George that changing the password has worked for me and seems to be the fix as I have given the fix to several others and it worked for them. DAMN! HACKERS!!

I got similar email. I opened it up and it was something about Viagra I think. I didn't open any attachments(if there were any?). Am I in any danger of a virus from this?
