My computer has been hacked and my facebook account compromised. Don’t answer any emails from me open any emails from me wanting you to view a video. Don’t open any videos it looks like I sent you.
INCREDIBLY, McAfee’s server is down! They can’t help me right now. “Call back in 2 hours.” I cannot believe it.

I had anticipated this post was forthcoming… I THOUGHT that Facebook link looked suspicious. Good luck dealing with it promptly, Jill. I’m sure this is an unwanted headache, especially with the imminent healthcare issues.
Sorry to hear this happened to you! I got infected using McAfee a few years ago, which is why I will never use it again.
Norton may be able help you but it’s not a free service. Here’s the number if you want to call, check their fees, and see if they can get you fixed up via a secure internet connection. (877) 788-4877
Good Luck!
Also don’t open any e-mails that say “Jill Stanek sent you a message on Facebook…” I received this as well. I traced it to the facebookmail.com server masked as Facebook. On another note, surprisingly, my entire Facebook page is gone today and no one can search me and I no longer appear as anyone’s friend.
Jill,
I’m happy to help you get your system secured again (free of charge – the least I can do for all the wonderful work you’ve done for the pro-life and conservative movements).
I have a few suggestions (all relating to free software solutions) – just shoot me a quick email and we can go from there – jamesrileyjr (at) gmail (dot) com.
(respond to this comment if you can’t send me an email for whatever reason and we’ll work out a way to talk).
–James
James, that is really nice of you.
I’m so sorry, Jill.
I opened it. Got infected. My McAfee saved my computer. One tip I learned is to Shut Down The Computer Promptly when something starts to go haywire.I mean Push the buttons on the Computer Monitor & The Box Off By Hand. When you restart your anti-virus protection will have taken care of it. Don’t Worry Jill, The Devil Can’t Win!
I got a message from you from FB. I didnt open it because I figured you didnt send it and another friend had that issue awhile ago.
Boy I LOVE my Mac!
Good to see you’re back up!
Hey James, thanks for the kind offer, but I wasn’t online to read it! $90 and 1 hour later, the viruses are gone, but they were bad. The tech found more twice after he thought he’d gotten rid of everything.
Sorry to hear that, Jill – but the offer still stands if you need help in the future, and it’s great to hear that you were able to get back up and running!
I didn’t check my email until about 7pm, & by then, Facebook had blocked the “video link” as having been reported abusive. MacAfee seemed to have repaired the problem, because I cannot detect any virus with a scan. I did not notice any problems with my FB. Please keep us updated!
Hey, J:
Sounds like Pelosi’s hacks might be sticking it to ya. And that, ladies & gents, is not a joke.
I was 1 of those who got a hacked message that claimed to be from you via Facebook. I knew right away it wasn’t from you so didn’t open. Hope you got everything cleared up.
