• Answer:

  Hi, Dorothy, How are your security measures ? I am going to add some information to help with the Address Book being hacked. You are not the first. It can also happen with any mail service. I would beef up all of my security, regardless. I would check to make certain that the secondary email address under "Account Info" and settings, is not filled in with an address other than yours. Fill in that secondary address blank so that there won't be that ability for someone to use. Check your "Sent" Folder for any strange emails. When you do set up that secondary address, think about what you would love as an email address, create it, then transfer between primary and secondary, (you will then get the emails that are sent out to your original email address. Now, once you're sure that nobody is still messing around with your email, take a few further precautions. Always send via BCC, set your History to 3 days, do not allow pop-up windows, and only allow cookies for "sites you have visited"' Also, if you are using a wireless router - don"t, go to a hard-wired one, because even your next-door neighbor can pick up your computer signals. I would compose an email to all of your contacts (via BCC, of course) telling them of your new email address since your address book was hacked or you had a virus. Do the virus-protection thing too, but do not download from one of the Virus Protection sites as 40 % of them are set up to create a virus or are already malware themselves. Good luck
