Your AOL account seems to have been hacked into...

Not exactly hacked....

A little over a month ago I received 18 "undelivered" e-mail messages
on that account every two days for a six day period. Then I got an
e-mail from a former RCC'er alerting me that I might have picked up
some malware, as he had received a suspicious e-mail from that
account.

Soooo....I ran some anti-malware software and it turned out I had
indeed picked up a Trojan....it got rid of it and everything was back
to normal.

However, this morning I got the 18 "undelivered" messages again. I ran
the anti-malware software again and it found nothing.

I will probably clean out my address book for that AOL account or
disable it's ability to send and receive e-mail.
