[artshow_photo] Apology to Group

Hi there - I am writing to apologize for the no-subject, spam hyperlink email that got sent from my hotmail account to the group (and everyone in my contacts list) on Friday night. It was NOT from me... and oddly enough, I was sitting AT my computer when it happened. I looked up from printing notecards and saw I had 54 undeliverable mail notifications. I hadn't sent ANY email that evening, so I was more than a bit taken aback.

And then I was angry and embarrassed. I changed my hotmail password immediately. The hack job came thru hotmail, NOT thru my computer, as my Norton antivirus is up to date, and my anti-mal-ware program was working and indicated no issues.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to avoid such issues in the future? IS there any way to avoid it, other than regularly changing one's password, and maintaining an up-to-date virus protection program?

know it's happened to others on this forum, and I know it will happen again to some other unsuspecting, innocent soul - but you all have my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this instance may have caused you.
Light and laughter,
Deb Booth
