My own 'puter got hijacked and infested with a nasty mac-specific virus earlier today, scams asking for money went out not only to my own email contacts but also were sent to THEIR contacts. Meanwhile, it seems it may be related to bigger attacks on facebook today and twitter yesterday, both said to be reeling at present. I've only done emails outside of TD with maybe a dozen of you, but it seems like a good time for everyone to be doing careful virus scans and such (which I never did before now).
Good luck, you may need it.

I find this free software to be helpful. I have used it for a few years and it works great.
