[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1023516, member: 24098"] OK, that clears up a lot. Since you use a web-based mail account, it's possible that it was hacked. Changing your password likely cleared up your issue, especially if it was a simple password. I made the assumption that you were actually using a mail client. I would still recommend a scan with ClamXAV. There are no real viruses for Mac OS X, but there are a couple of trojans and worms, all of which are easily avoided just by not downloading software from untrusted sources and keeping your Mac up to date. ClamXAV is a good solution because it doesn't run all the time, but only when you need it to. The other AV products out there will slow your machine down and can be more trouble than they're worth: [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10331147-263.html]Mac OS X anti-virus software: More trouble than it's worth? | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews[/url] [/QUOTE]
