S!~

I want to appologize to anyone who got an email from my Yahoo account over the past week. I have not sent any emails from my yahoo account since April.

It appears someone hacked my email and may have sent a blanket email to all my email contacts, with a link in it.

Do not follow the link!!! If you got the email from my Yahoo account, please scan your computer for a virus.

I have scanned my machine and found nothing and just finished changing all my on-line passwords

Please accept my appologies if this spammer caused any issues for you guys.

I got it and also thought it looked wierd. My computer automatically saw it was bad and stopped me from even opening it. Sorry to hear about you getting haked. I just recovered from a nasty virus myself.
