My email is telling contacts that my computer has a high risk virus? - trishs8189 - 02-28-2013 03:28 PM

My uncle sent me a message on my Facebook page saying that my email is saying that my computer has a very high risk virus. Is this possible. I sent my mom an email & she said she didn't see anything like that- has anyone had anything like this happen. What should I do? A scan of my computer by AVG said there were no threats. Any suggestions??

Possibly you do or someone might have hacked your email.
Change the password on your email and ask your uncle again after a while of doing this.
In the mean time you might have a virus so backup important files and try to keep your pc from stressful tasks until the problem with your email stops.
Also try using your email on a public computer and see if that does it.
