    Computers involved

    Dell M1530 (Mine)
    Vista OS




    New iMac
    running tiger(no not leopard)

    So the problem goes like this... a month or two ago my steam account was hacked, but i had gotten a virus before. I got my password back, and wiped my computer clean of viruses. A week ago my moms credit card was stolen(yes she has gotten that one canceled, all her money back, and a new one. The only stuff they ordered on it was some energy drinks and songs from napster.), she doesnt know if it was that suspicious guy at Vons, or if it was computer related. Last night, my mom got a email that was Anonymous, with no return email or subject on it, just blank. I revealed the header on the email to find this

    Also, the message was just this,




    WHAT THE HELL YOU LOOKING FOR???





    could this be caused by someone connecting to our wireless internet? I dont think the mac is infected, that unlikely. Scanning my computer again right now, and so far clean. Do you think its just a widespread common spam email, or something to worry about. :eek:
