Any AOL users out there? I got an email from this address <<remind@newman.oscar.aol.com>> which gave me my aol IM password supposedly as I had requested. I assumed it was someone randomly trying to get into my account and that it had generated a reminder and sent it to my email. Tech on aol was quick to say it was not one of their email addresses and I likely had a trojan or virus password stealer. I always have on NAV and MS firewall. I use a Netgear router. After market hours, I have on ZA Pro and run Pest Patrol usually 2x a day, keeping some components of PP resident at all time (think it's key patrol and mem patrol). So I figure my system is fairly safe. Total scans by PP and by NAV show nothing. So my question is - should I get paranoid and change my account passwords, if aol tech is right or should I just pass it off as typical aol quick answers which default to the CYA type?
