Virus I believe. I got another message today claiming that once again, my account was suspended.

I spoke with the tech guy at NASO/Referee Mag yesterday and he said somehow, the administrator account was hacked into. He is the only person with access and even he has to log in as the administrator to send something from that account to the locker room list. People in their organization got the same message too, including the tech guy! Hackers are such a pain in the arse.

Bottom line, if you ever get an email with an .zip file, NEVER OPEN IT!! If you have an internet connection, get a software fire wall, I use McAfee and have had good success with it. I really need to create a limited access account (you can do this in Windows XP, not sure about ME and below) which prevents hackers from taking over your computer and not installing hiding spyware.
