There is a possibility that I may have had my email hacked by a spammer so do not open any mail from me, delete it
I opened an email from an old friend and immediately saw it was a spammer

More likely spoofed or nicked your e-mail addy from some ones address book with a trojan Chris. Just reinforces the need to keep Internet protection up to date and on your guard.
The recent problem we had on the forum was a DDOS (distributed denial-of-service) attack on the data centre that provides our on-line services. Not targeting us specifically but it still caused problems. Grrr.
