AIM Password Stolen...

My AIM password was stolen. I get an IM from the AOL System saying that I'm logged on in multiple locations, but even with logging the other locations off and changing passwords, my friends are still getting errant IM's. Any ideas?

(I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-Bit with McAfee Virus Scan provided by the Univ. Of Tennessee.)

Re: AIM Password Stolen...

Thanks for the suggestion...the only thing is that this is happening on my home network (I live 6 hours away from UT). Any other suggestions?
