One of those lovely worthless POS hackers got into our Hotmail acct. and sent out "Work at Home" offers to lots of our contacts.  Sorry if you receive one.  Just one minute in a room with these guys.......

Scumbags.  We do our best to keep spammers off this forum but email hacking is really just guessing passwords.
Might want to run ad aware and cleaner on your computer in case they got in that way

For the last 24 hrs I too have been hacked, lots of junk spam received / sent  until my pc crashed......how did I get this crap and why are my filters not blocking it?

Sounds like your pc itself has been compromised.  Might want to format the hard drive and reinstall windows.  Been in IT for 20 years..been there!

From Goggle, find Primaforma [sp?] and download cCleaner. Pick the free one.
Once loaded do the 'cleaning'.

Might help a bit. No guarantees.

skip.

Be careful using Ad Aware if you already have an old version of  McAffee or AVG on your PC.  They don't play well together.  We ended up restoring the netbook to a setting from a couple weeks ago.  This cleared everything up.

Junk e-mails don't bother me.  A junk text message is something else.  They really steam me.
