One of the nice things about having a mac, is that there are no viruses that are based on mac software, or hardly any. Seriously! My HP laptop is great but its always getting attacked by these yokes, but the iMac, not a bean.

That's one of the reasons why I always loved the Arc - RiscOs has always been virus free.

Kinks me and some friends had this problem a few days ago,, i changed my password for msn and for my e mail address,,, that seemed to do the trick.

this is the link to go change your password, but i dont know if you will be able to click on the link here or now. one of my friends just typed it in but got sent elsewhere? Anyway it should take you to msn, just sign in with your old password, then it should show your details with an option to change your password in blue writing next to passwrod, its easy from there. Dont forget to click on the save button when you are finished:D

Oh it looks like you can just click on the link

That link only takes you to change your msn password. If you want to change your e mail address password you will have to do it seperately.

Well i hope it works,,, but a friend of mine tried all kinds of things like that, and the only thing that eventually worked was changing her msn password:-3
