I was getting similar mails from a friend in Ga, he didnt even know it was happening, so he shut down that account and started another one. Better to let Victor know and let him deal with it.

Hello,  I received a recent email from Victor, too.  I wondered two things: 1. Is it legit?  2. Does it work, Victor?  Ha, ha....   joe

I just was notified by Mike G. of New Jersey and have made arrangements to fix my AOL problem, the problem should be up and fixed within 24 hrs.

Sorry for the nuissance.

Been sick so I haven't been on the site for quite some time.

Paul,
I think that Kip meant that the Norton Anti-Virus would keep your computer from being hacked and used to send spam to addresses on your contact list as others have been, not keep you from receiving emails from prior contacts. Mike

Mike,

  Yep, I see what you mean.  Thanks for the clarification.

I do watch for emails that look bogus and just delete them, as I am sure many other do.

Thanks again,
Paul
