Hi,
I have a Macbook pro with no security on and use aol as my ISP. I use mail on the mac as well as signing into aol to check email.
Recently most of the people in my address book have been sent an email about quiting smoking, that I haven't sent. It says it is from my email address but I didn't send it.
I have now changed my aol password.
Does anyone know why this has happened and how I can avoid it in the future?
Do I need virus/spyware/adware protection like I would on a PC - do you know any good free ones that I can download without it slowing my machine up when running them?
Could my Mac have a virus on it - if so how can I check this and get rid of it?
My mac is new and quick and I love it - I dont want to put stuff on or have stuff running that I dont need to. Help!
Thanks Rob
