Yes, changed - exactly what address list of mine would this as...le have access to and what use would he make of it?

The hack is automated, it reads the email contact list attached to an email address then sends everyone in that list a personalised email with a link attached. Continuing ad infinitum.
Best to run an antivirus check as well.

There is another nasty about, I am told, claiming to come from the Met Police and fining people £100 for viewing illegal porn. It seizes your computer up until you have paid.

As you can see in the cycle photo the inverted horseshoe is an add on and not required for the functioning of the brakes. It is supposed to give more power from the components.

OK - is there any clue in the listing of an incoming Email from a known friend that it is not genuine and should therefore be immediately deleted ?
(my cousin has recently told me to ignore anything I see from him so the hackers are busy it seems).

Btw it is apparently possible to eradicate the fining trojan from "Cheshire Police" - the advice is on Google but very complicated. As the power exerted over one's computer is absolute it is a serious invasion - no need to pay but then a useless computer sits on your desk thereafter.

Did I miss something? What happened?

Don't worry Chris - we've gone way off topic but serious issues are raised in the foregoing nevertheless - and best not to think "it will never happen to me".

We had a similar pop-up message recently, after clicking on a news item on the AOL home page. We simply did nothing, but held the Power Off button until it shut off. That got rid of the attack message, the computer works fine.
