ugh... we'll that's kinda discouraging. thanks for the reply, though.

yeah, i forgot to mention, it's a yahoo mail account. Never had the problem until recently. It's weird. I've gotten the email from "her" with a link to some viagra page, or male enhancement pill page and the name and address on the email is hers. I can even replay to the email and my wife will get it. In fact, many people from her address book have replied to her saying "WTF" or "you trying to tell me something?"

I didn't think about Facebook. She's on there. Maybe that site somehow got access to the address book and sold it to some spammers.

So first thing is to change the password and then maybe change her name to a nickname or something. Other than that, not much I can do, huh?

So this doesn't sound like a computer virus? More likely a hijacked email and password?
