Anti-spam mails sent to my address

All my friends in my hotmail contact list received spam emails that are sent via my hotmail address.  The mail contains only a link web address.   I never sent such a letter to all my friends in the contacts list.  Please tell us how I can stop this.

  • Mail application started having hundreds of notice return of Postmaster to emails ever sent to this address

    Today, almost 200 returned e-mail notifications began to appear in the Inbox mailbox app. No connection to all e-mails sent from here. I did a full backup and then a reboot, but no help. Any ideas?

    Assuming that you have checked that the emails are not in the folder "sent" from your e-mail server (web portal), one of the computers of your friends has a virus that stole all of their contact information, and now spammers use your email address as email address in spam, it sends a fake. You'll just have to weather the storm.

  • Spam from my own email address

    I use MSN on Windows XP and today I received an email from my email address. When I opened it, it is a supplement for Viagra. It's as if I send my own spam free. I'm trying to understand how someone can do and prevent it from happening again. I use Norton Internet Security, and nothing was found after doing a scan. Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    It has nothing to do directly with your computer.

    E-mail is not sent directly out of our computers to the destination.

    Our activities email through the email providers mail server.

    Spammers are finding ways to "Tinker" with the servers.

    Spammers harvest email addresses and fake her from addresses, it's a way to avoid some anti-spam filters.

    That said, you have to scan your computer on a regular basis just to make sure that there is no. Trojans and malware sneak up on you.

  • Hotmail compromised and the e-mail sent from the account (but not by me)

    Hello.

    My hotmail account was accessed by someone other than me. In addition, they sent an email on my behalf * of my own account * to a friend. As the content is of a sensitive nature, it caused a lot of trouble for me.

    The person who consulted with my account was pretty sneaky to delete the email in the "sent" folder, but forgot the file deleted. If I was able to read and can say 100% that I never sent it me. I am very confused by the present.

    I have changed my password, but I would go at the bottom of this. I would like to know how my email was consulted in the first place, and more important again, if there is a way to find who did this, then I can take the case more far and possibly prosecute legal, as I feel that my privacy has been violated.

    I must point out that my password (at the time) has not changed. The one who did this, tact has left my account from what I can tell. Their agenda was just to send the mentioned e-mail, which leads me to believe that I probably know the person.

    On a note more and probably another case, I have a problem confirming my security information for more secure my account so that this does not happen. I wanted to add another phone number and e-mail, but it just repeat myself that when I try and click on the tab "validate":

    You added [email address] .com to your account, but it must be confirmed before you can use it.

    Note: You can use your computer approved to confirm this information, the sign from this computer, go on the account overview page and then click on confirm next to this information.

    I get a similar message when I try to confirm my phone number.

    Thanks for any help, because I am very stressed out of all this.

    I've had this year of email address and never been hacked before.

    You might well be a misinterpretation of the events. Another explanation is that one of your friends has a malware infestation. The malicious software causes the computer to send messages to all persons named in their address book.  The message is supposed to come from a person who is selected in the address book, but it's a subterfuge the message is actually the computer infected. This would explain why it is in your deleted items folder and not your sent items folder. Anti-spam on your computer defenses have identified the incoming spam message and put it where it belongs.

    It is generally not easy to identify who has the infected computer. In the only case that I met, it was possible to narrow down the identity of the infected computer from the list of people who receive messages. A close examination of the list revealed a name that was not known to all the others, except for one who had the infected computer. Anti-malware running on the infected computer software ended the avalanche of annoying messages

    You should be aware that what I have described is actually a very common way to distribute malicious software from one computer to another. Opening of the item deleted on your computer could lead to malware foothold on your computer and start a new wave of infected messages which, in this case, are sent from your computer to everyone in your address book. You must carefully check your computer for malware to make sure this does not happen or stop it if they started to be sent.

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

    Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

    When talking to friends the problem, be very careful what you say that the charges can very quickly lose you your friends. Explain how you check your computer for malware so that they know how they can check their own computers. Let them do, and I hope that the problem will end.

    I am a bit confused about the loadtime honeypot as loadtime is supposed to stop the msg if the person takes less 5 seconds then to fill the page, then he was not supposed to be anything to fill.

    The two solutions are the same. Only a robot will fill in the hidden field, so no matter if it takes 2 seconds or 20 seconds. The original solution, you use timing controls that seem unnecessarily complex for me.

    All its saying (you need to be a robot because you took 5 seconds to complete the form field). The form field is always filled in so check that instead... as I said it doesn't matter if a robot takes 2 seconds or all day to fill the field of form - which is something is in the form field.
