I tried to access their site and my computer antivirus said it detected a virus on their page and I had to close it. Anyone else see anything like that?
I'd contact them, but don't know their email. Can someone let them know?
Thanks!

Also had some program get into my hotmail and email something to everyone in my contacts. I think it may have happened at the same time. I'm running a virus scan, but don't think I have acquired one. I think someone may have seperately hacked my hotmail account.
Anyone else see this?

I scanned my computer. No viruses.
I think the hotmail thing was done online somewhere. Perhaps other hotmail users had the same problem. Still very alarming.

A friend of mine was having hotmail problems yesteday and it wouldn't accept his password.  He had to reset everything.  I'm thinking someone probably hacked into hotmail.

,,I dunno about hotmail as I do not use it..But I have had emails stopped and blocked from UPS and from FED EX and one other company..Something to do with tracking numbers..Strange emails,but they were sure as heck infected..Looked real but I would not open the first one and blocked them after that as spam..I think there are nine known spams showing today. and they have to be those I blocked as I have nothing else blocked..I do have to allow you if your not in my addy book..I did not get a hotmail email from you Chris..Maybe I am not in you addy book?..Thought I was..Someone always wanting to destroy something..Sick world we live in...KH

The stuff I usually get in my spam box ain't worth reading. Mostly folks concerned about the size of my manhood. They want you to believe that if you used their products you could use it like a kick-stand on a bike.
I don't get enough blood to my brain as it is, and I've already learned not to think so much with the other. It gets a fellow in trouble!  Smiley Smiley

I got two emails back to back from this email address. I think it is Karl K. customer-service@arrowheadauctions.com
And what it said wasn't to good, and I'm not happy

Here is the copy of it

Dear James White,
               
                fudge u
               
                Time sent: {ts '2010-02-02 22:09:03'}

And FUDGE isn't what it said

I don't have any beef with Karl and don't think Karl would send an email to me like this

Anyone got any ideas

Looks like there is some kind of problem with the arrowheads auctions

I forwarded the email the Jim Bennett, maybe he can get something do with this

Ditto on the F.U. email.
Karl has a situation on his hands. I'm still wondering if the hackers are to blame for the blanket email on my hotmail, which seemed to happen at the same time.
I hope he gets it fixed. The prob. is if it's a member doing it then he will need to locate that person and ban them.
as a reminder to you all; PLEASE KEEP YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM UPDATED AND SCAN YOUR COMPUTER REGULARLY!!
You can set your scan to happen automatically overnight while your sleeping, or during the day while you're at work, etc. I'm sure most of you know this already.
If you don't have an antivirus on your comp. you can get some free ones online. I reccomend AVG Free Edition. You can Google it, or go to http://free.avg.com/us-en/download?prd=afe.
Just an FYI.
