Look up Akebia quinata and see if that's what you have.

I have had the same hotmail account since the day I got on the internet, so a LONG time, and never once had a problem with spam, hacking, or anything else. There were the occasional growing glitches as they changed the system over the years but I have been very happy with it. I personally never use the email that is provided by my ISP. The only time we did was way back in the days of MSN dial up! and even then I had my hotmail. So I do not think there is anything better about ISP over free either. I much prefer all of my freebies. I think since I have been on comcast I may have checked that email address I got there once in 2 yrs. And lo and behold it was full of spam LOL and never used. Passwords are key!!I tell my family that all the time and still they use their dogs name as their password, my neice's daughter helped her friends set up facebook and twitter accounts and she used the same password for ALL of them. She just could not understand why I nearly had a stroke on that one. I just give up. What does it take to create a password? To protect your savings and your identity? I personally keep a note book that has all my sites and their associated user name and password. I write it in there every time I get a new one or change one. I keep that notebook in a very secure locked location. Now if at some point a burglar manages to break into my house, kill me and my husband, steal my computers and also manage to find and steal my password notebook well at that point he can have it. Because I am pretty sure he will be bleeding pretty badly himself, and I won't need it. LOL

Think I might close all my browsers and delete my cookies for yahoo with something like CCleaner. Then I might make sure I accept yahoo cookies, and go to www.yahoo.com and login. Use CCleaner to always save that cookie. Tell my browser to always accept their cookies. Then only have to login once every two weeks hopefully.

Okay, thanks. I changed my password and sent an email to a few friends asking them not to open the hacked email. Made me feel better. I'm such a ridiculous people pleaser that it makes me nuts to know so many people will be going, "argh. I've been hacked" and attaching my name to that feeling. I guess it is common though. At work we have so many security features it doesn't happen often, but even there it's happened to a few. jlc712, viagra! That is hilarious.
