Compromise of address book, what to do, run Antivirus (norton) and no luck

I had a kind of escape in my email address
Book and I get calls and FB messages that people in my AB get Spam with my name on it, on a daily basis.  I see 'Postmaster Notifications' messages could not convey, in my Inbox.  What can I do to get rid of this? His summer lasts for about 3 weeks.  People in my AB are blocking me.  I'm getting nasty phone calls and FB messages to remove from my AB.  I ran my Norton antivirus 2010.  I ordered Norton Malware.  It takes, in my opinion, to change my password by e-mail. Yes or no.  Thank you.  Jim Woods

Yes.  Change your password by e-mail.  Do not let your computer remember your new password, because some malware can retrieve these passwords and abusing of them.  Run a malware scan whenever you can.  You can download a free malwarebytes.

  • "Writing" the 'address book' s behaviour varies duration s 'email' and 'full name '.

    In most of my 'Contact's there is only an e-mail address, but some, the most important, have more. If I choose "Write", and "Full name" or ("Name") is not empty, then an e-mail address truncated, with unbalanced quotation marks, appears in the outgoing message. If "Display Name" is empty, each e-mail address gets its own line. Just what is planned here?

    (Other than that I rather keep "Display Name" empty because I don't want my posts automatically decorated.)

    There is also a bug to officially support comma delimiter mail address, just because it works is not supported. One address per line is Thunderbird officially how it.

    I added a Contact with the nickname "Cathy" and e-mail '[email protected], [email protected] '.

    Please a picture so I have an idea of what you mean. If your collage email addresses in the email address field separated by commas (and that's what I read) then it is a problem. It is not supported.

  • What is the maximum size of the address book.

    Hello

    I'm trying to verify the maximum size of the address book for OS 4.6.

    Please can you let me know what can be the maximum size of the address book.

    Thank you

    Neev.

    Hello Neev,

    There is no coded limit hard for contacts in address book to my knowledge. As long as the device has enough memory, you can add as many contacts as you like.

    Just keep in mind that you don't want to let yourself get too low for some reason any.

    Here's an article that might be of interest for the management of the memory of your device:

  • Address book does not load in OutLook Express

    Operation of a limited account, Outlook Express cannot open the address book with
    the following messages:
    (1) the address book failed to load. Outlook Express s wrong
    configured, please re-install.
    (2) unable to open the address book. The address book cannot be
    installed correctly.

    However, if the limited account is changed to an administrator account
    are no problem.

    There are two accounts on the PC; HP_Administrator and User1. User1 is the
    the problem account. HP_administrator has administrator privileges
    and if User1 receives administrative privileges, and then I noticed that the two accounts
    use the same address book. In other words, Outlook Express
    "-> Addresses--> help on address book" in the two accounts show

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab

    used as the address book.

    This seems incorrect. I would expect Admin to be replaced by HP_Administrator
    or User1 in the path above, according to the account that Outlook Express has been
    Run from. It seems that the operating system is configured to use the address book above,
    regardless of the account running Outlook Express. If User1 is a limited account
    It is not possible to view the location of the address book due to the error that
    is happening, but I suspect that Outlook Express attempts to access the address book
    above and a problem arises due to try limited permissions User1 account
    to access the address book in the folder of the administrator.

    Windows XP with service pack 2 is the operating system and of its Outlook Express 6.

    What do I do so that Outlook Express can operate successfully in the
    limited account User1.

    The problem has been resolved. I wrote the solution for people
    who, like me, have no experience with the Windows operating system.

    The sites of these links must be read. For Outlook express
    http://www.insideoe.com,

    more precisely

    http://www.insideoe.com/files/WAB.htm.

    For more information about the registry and how to change the following two sites
    provide the necessary information and should be read carefully.

    (1) http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/learn-how-use-windows-registry-editor-regedit-one-easy-lesson.htm

    (2) http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsr/p/registrywindows.htm
    (You will find other useful links on this site)

    A single note; There are different sets of keys "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", 1 set for each
    account. To change a "HKEY_CuRRENT_USER" key for the user account, you must be
    logged in as user.

    In the registry, the key to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab file name.
    contains the path of the address book used by Outlook Express, for
    the account that you are logged.

    When logged on as a user and by examining the registry with regedit

    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB/WAB4\Wab file name.

    the value

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab.

    Given that the user is a limited account, user doesn't have the privilege to access the address book in this
    location, which led to the errors listed in the original post. The solution is to
    change this path. Using regedit path has changed to

    C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\User.wab.

    C:\Documents and Settings\nom being the folder root for the user account, the user has
    the privilege to access the address book to the new location. Outlook express has been
    then be able to access the address book.

    Upon reflection, it seems to me that the above solution is just a symptom, and not the cause.
    The original question, in fact, should be:

    How the system is configured so that when a new account is created the new account
    will use an address book to

    C:\Documents and Account\Application Book\New Account.wab Data\Microsoft\Address CAB.

    Instead of

    C:\Documents and Data Data\Microsoft\Address Book\Administrator.wab,.

    It should not be necessary to change the registry for each new account.

  • I can't find delete an address expired in my address book.

    No matter how much time and places, I'm looking in all the groups, folders, and subfolders in my address book I can not prevent a former address, is no longer valid from one of my correspondents to appear as one of the 'auto fill' choices in my mailbox recipient. I can't find it to remove it!

    At first, I tried to remove old ads completely, but after doing this several times (over several days and it complete re-boots), he remained, cancelled, in all the places in my address book! Finally, instead of trying to delete its all occurrences, I have just updated the email address on the box change the Contact of his all occurrences, and that took care of this particular problem.

    But I still him popping up with his old address. Where is the list that a contact to hide?

    So it seems that you edit an address book, but the next time you run Thunderbird, the changes are cancelled?

    To do this, I suggest you specifically create a bad Contact in the address book of suspicious, close Thunderbird, re-open and see if your new Contact is still there.

    If this isn't the case, we have demonstrated that the selected address book will not save the changes.

    Select the address book in question, go to Tools | Options of and export using the LDIF option.

    If the address book affected was the personal address book, search for your profile (see Help |) Troubleshooting information), close Thunderbird, and delete abook.mab.

    Similarly, if it was collected addresses, remove history.mab.

    In these cases, you will not be allowed to remove the address book broken itself, where the above actions to remove its data file. Other address books, which is defined by the user, peut be deleted.

    If you have removed one of the two above mentioned address books, and their associated data files, the address book will be automatically re-created by Thunderbird when you run then. You will need to import and create a new address book, but you can then move its content. For this reason, avoid giving the address book imported the same name as an address book existing.

    Now you can import the data (Tools |) Import) the LDIF file and after that, if necessary, move (drag) the Contacts imported into the favorite.

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
    Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

    I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

    Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

    If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

    It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

    Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

    You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

    If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?

  • When I click on address book in the Fax Wizard, it gives me only choices related to Exchange, not the Windows address book

  • How to select a contact in my address book?

    Hello

    I want to get a particular contact in my address book with his name. (In this example, I want the phone number of John)

    But when I use the code below, it does not work! I do not understand why!

        final String[] name = contact.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);        final String firstName = name[Contact.NAME_GIVEN];
    
        String johnNumber = null;        String PhoneNumber = null;        if (contact.countValues(Contact.NAME) > 0)        {            PhoneNumber = contact.getString(Contact.TEL,0);        if(firstName == "John") // it never find John and I put the same spelling of John in my address book                   {                    johnNumber = PhoneNumber;            }            else                 johnNumber = null;        }  return johnNumber;
    

    Could you explain to me why and you have the solution to this you problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    The cause of your problem is probably the following line of code in getJohnNumber():

    firstName = 'John '.

    Use the method instead. equals(), such as

    "John".equals (firstName) ".

    In addition, it seems that you don't quite understand the purpose of the countValues() method. It returns the number of values in a particular field, NOT the number of non-null in the returned array elements returned by getStringArray().  Citing then countValues (Contact.NAME) returns the number of tables in the NAME field.  You really should ask countValues() * before * getStringArray (Contact.NAME, 0) and only call the getStringArray() if countValues() returns a value greater than 0.  Try to create an entry in the address book of BlackBerry with only a company name and no last name or the name. Then, when you run your application, you'll probably notice a RuntimeException thrown of getStringArray() because the NAME field has values null. Also, try running when an existing address book entry only has a family name and no last name; Make sure that no NullPointerException is thrown (because name [Contact.NAME_GIVEN] is nothing).

    Please take a look at my example in the previous post, which shows a reliable way to get the name of a Contact.

  • Smartphones blackBerry address book search now does not have older contacts contacts in 8310

    Hi from a new Subscriber and thanks for any help!  A month ago my Curve 8310, v. 4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) provider O2, stopped and be able to search and find Contacts unless I had added after this date.  These recent Contacts have not been folded in the original address book, but are all in a new and alphabetized list at the end of the original Contacts list.  There is only some categories not assigned, no synchronization of network, and the content is not protected.  The Contacts are in the phone, not on the SIM card.

    Before that, I could type in the address book or phone the first 2-3 letters of the name of a person and need me to contact - now he says that he has none of these people.  So I have to scroll the full address book to get to whomever I want, and then I can call/SMS etc.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated!  Thank you.

    Matilda

    First, do a reboot simple: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    This sets your addressbook?

    If this is not the case, let me ask you if you have added an email address Gmail in the month, at the beginning of this strange behavior?

    You can look at the Options > status > press the Meny > database sizes.

    Scroll to the bottom for addressbook, you see more than one list?

    What do you see?
