So if you get any wierd emails from ccasali@lrbcg.com just don't open the attachment. I know someone has hacked into it because whenever I open my mail I get about 10 postmaster letters saying that I have undelievered mail. I didn't send that mail. What can I do?
Thanks

Is there a way you can delete your e-mail account and get a new one?

3. start a new email account

Try changing your password. Maybe your password was to easy. I know that because we did this with one of our teachers some time ago. His password was the name of the school. Try making a hard to crack password.

It isn't a hacker! It's a virus! I was infected with it! You guys need to update your virus definitions!
