Computer sht, I'm pissed

Armageddon · Nov 20, 2003

I posted some time back about having problems with that Trojan horse virus and shit. Well it seems that things are worse or alittle more difficult now. I was playing on the PC last night before bed, no big deal. Didn't do anything that I normally do. I never open email, especially aol unless I know who it's from and generally never answer IM's either unless I know them. The only email that I opened last night was something from my combine invitation. So it's completely legit and what not. I get up this morning and open aol and I have all this shit about mail can't be delivered. There was several emails that were returned to my account that had been attempted to be sent to various hotmail accounts. I called the 2 people that might know my password and neither did. 1 is my mom and the other is my roomate, which is computer illiterate. So, how can I go about figuring out who's fucking with my shit, or do I just have to change passwords and shit again!

run sysedit . then choose the config.sys file. if there is anything next to "run=" i believe thats what is causing the problem. i think you can delete and save it without any problems. call AOL and they will walk you through also.

Later,

Details about the messages that are being sent out would be helpful. Certain viruses, trojans or worms can be easily identified by the email subject lines. Are you running a firewall or virus detection software?
