Hacked!
#13
I do think Paul is right here. Outlook is only a way to read your mail and send it. I use it, but I know it requires some virus/worm protection to protect you. You can still receive mail via the RR. website, as clumsy as it may be, without using Outlook. The reason I prefer Outlook is that it seamlessly connects with my cell phone, updating my contacts and calendar.

However, this whole fiasco started from Facebook, a completely separate web site. My husband (not so savvy) was recently taken in by mylife.com when it asked to search his address book for friends... BAD move! You really have to think before you click on "yes" these days.

I'm not sure what you mean by "our RR ISP runs through our outlook" but if it's starting up MS Outlook automatically I would shut it down and find a way from stopping it even starting up. Viruses love Outlook.

I always recommend AVG Free, it's completely free and works very well. But I'm sure a paid-for one will work too.


Aloha au i Hawai`i,
