Try downloading and running this free software. Saved me 1 time in the past and now use it regularly.

Strider, check your settings and find your "vacation response" box.  Mine was coming from that.

Thanks Jack!  Yep, that was where mine was at to boot.

Also did a full scan and there were some adware viruses as well.

Thanks......

And, ummmmmmm, just what a southern boy needs - spelling police.  You know how it is, they don't learn us good down here.

My computer was clean.  The problem seems to be in G-mail.  Was wondering if the chinese are targeting Google due to their recent disagreements.

That virus is no respecter of persons as it has apparently also attacked the grammar police.   Wink

*Attention*

You folks with a gmail account need to change your password immediately if this happened to you!  Use good passwords(nothing found in a dictionary and at least a number or extra character in the password)

I think this is happening to more than just gmail people, as msn and yahoo accounts have also been compromised!  In other words, its a really good time to change your email password regardless if you have been hijacked!

Got me too.  Just found it today.  Google had disabled my e-mail due to "suspicious activity" took most of the morning to get back in.
