fem-a.com site:
Occasionally when I'm working on our latest store front I'll see fem-a.com site appear in the background, like a hover note. It may be related to another strange occurence. Yesterday when I tried to enter a bcc for an email template I got a warning from CA Toolbar sending information alert and an offer to block. This happens rarely but it's still a little concerning.
I looked it up and found this:
http://fem-a.com/
FEM&A, Inc.
4507 County Road 16
Canandaigua, NY 14424
(585)-396-1783

Has anyone else seen anything like this? Do they have any connection to Ablecommerce?

Bob, do you have any anti-spyware software on your computer?

If not, I would suggest picking up a copy at your local store. Just tell a clerk at the store that you're looking to buy some anti-spyware software. Just having an anti-virus program is not enough these days.

It sounds like you have some unwanted software on your computer. If so, it's probably buried deep into Windows and won't be easy to remove on your own.

If you need a really quick fix, I would suggest visiting http://www.Spybot.com/ and downloading/installing their free anti-spyware program. It's a great spyware-removal program and pretty simple to use. It also keeps resident in your computer to keep future bad stuff from getting into your machine. It's not perfect, but it does do a good job.

Nothing will be perfect forever, so it's still very important to never open email attachments from someone you didn't expect to receive it from. If you are ever in doubt, the best rule-of-thumb is simply to call the sender (or reply to the email) and ask if they intended to send the attachment and request a description of what it is. Always err on the side of caution.

Hope that helps.... 8)
