Hi all,
I just got home from a beautiful long weekend in Niagara Falls and after settling in went to check my e-mail.
It wouldn't let me in. Would not recognize my password. I contacted Yahoo and they walked me through some steps. Took about a half hour. I had to change (reset) my password.
Here's the part that I found weird. Within the last 3 weeks I had 5 e-mail addresses added to my e-mail address book that I never saw before. I deleted them the fist time I saw them. A couple weeks go by and they are back. So I delete them again.
When I had Yahoo on the phone and checked my e-mail account there they were again. The same 5 e-mail address. This time I found them in my sub accounts. I never had any sub accounts. I suspended them.
Here they are.

4. # Zadiko Bad boys zadiko_________arg@prodigy.net


5. # Zadiko Bad boys jet_aime@prodigy.net

Has anyone here had anything similar happen to them or heard of anything like this?

No, only you.

How did they get past the layers of Microsoft security in Windows?

Never heard of such a thing.

I bet Microsoft would really be eager to hear from you.
They would probably send someone out to examine your computer.

Thanks Crunch,

The Falls were beautiful. This was a first for me. The Maid of the Mist was one awesome experience. The captain got us right up close and personal with the falls.
You can really feel the power of the falls from the bow. Got real wet too.

Did you go to the Cave of the Wind as well?

I was going to but for the two of us it would have cost over 70 bucks. We took the cable car over the whirlpool.
That was exciting. The jet boats were running thru them. The captains were getting the riders wet. They would spin'em around. Water flying around everywhere. I got a lot of video. Clear skies everyday and 70's.

I've been monitoring my e-mail account and so far so good. I'd like to know how something like this could happen in the first place. I never open e-mails I don't recognize.

Did you get mine?... or did it get lost in the shuffle.
