Every time i sign off aol when i go to sign back on, that password doesnt work. I have to call and reset my password but 5 minutes later it doesnt work anymore. I had a ton of email sent to tons of people telling them they look good in their picture. dont know what to do?

Sounds like you might have a keylogger virus on your machine that is stealing your passwords and changing them to something else so that someone else can use your account to spam people.
Because most keyloggers are installed by viruses or other spyware, it is important that we scan your machine completely to ensure that we remove all the malware, not just some of it. If we do not get it all, it is likely that what we remove will be re-installed either automatically by the remaining malware or manually through a backdoor program by whomever wrote the malware in the first place.
Please read through these instructions and print them out if needed. If you have any questions, please ask them before starting this procedure. Please do the steps in the order that they are listed for the best results. Also, although it may seem like the infection is cleaned after performing these steps, please stay with me until I let you know that your machine is "all-clear" for best results.
Here is what I need you to do. First of all, download DDS from here and save it to your desktop.
Next, download GMER from here. Be sure to click the button marked "Download EXE" to download GMER as a randomly named .exe file. This is needed as some rootkits look for and hide from GMER or prevent it from running.
Once you have both of those downloaded, please disable any script blocking program you might have and run DDS.scr. When it is done, DDS will open two (2) logs. They are named DDS.txt and Attach.txt. Please save both reports to your desktop.
Then run GMER. If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO. In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked for you. Please Uncheck the following boxes: Sections, IAT/EAT, any Drives/Partitions other than the Systemdrive (typically C:\), and Show All (be sure not to miss this one!) Now click on the Scan button and wait for it to finish. Once it is done scanning, click the "Save..." button and in the file name area type in gmerscan.txt.
Please copy and paste the contents of the dds.txt log to this thread. As for the attach.txt log and gmerscan.txt logs, please send them as an attachment to the email address I have provided for you in the private message that I just sent you.
Once I have a chance to check these logs I will be able to better determine what our next steps should be.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
