I highly recommend Linda and David. They've been a big help over the years.

I prefer to pay them to do installs/updates because I have enough on my plate. David and Linda of Mail's Best Friend, both formerly at Declude, have both given us excellent service over many years. http://mailsbestfriend.com/ <http://www.centric.net/> centric logo - signature sized Katie LaSalle-Lowery [email protected] 1120 S.

Four different domains. The originating IP's are all foreign - and lots of them. In fact, they are changing spoofed IP's after just a few messages, so Declude hijack isn't working as well as HAMR, since it is IP based, but it has pegged 2 of the 9 while HAMR has done its thing on all nine so far. So, while I'm suggesting that clients run independent scans just as general good practice, I don't suspect infected customer computers. I am certainly advising that that password is compromised and that if it is used for other accounts, those accounts need to be changed as well and urging them to not use the same password for everything, but, as you are all quite well aware, people are very resistant to that idea. They don't get that making it easy for themselves also makes it easy for the bad guys. <http://www.centric.net/> centric logo - signature sized Katie LaSalle-Lowery [email protected] 1120 S.

Someone suggested I'ts because they have hacked Linked-in, adobe, target and other database in recent months. People have to use different passwords for every system! Carl J.
