e-mail account was to send SPAM (from my list of contacts)

My live.com e-mail account sent SPAM (from my list of contacts) which has a URL to a Canadian supplier Viagra. If I delete my contacts this Spamming stops. She will do even if my computer is turned off. Any ideas?

Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.

=============================================

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

  • E-mail account. Cannot send emails on iPhone and iPad after changing the password

    Due to my hotmail hacked on my laptop, I changed my password. I can now only receive emails on my iphone and iPad, but I cannot send emails. A notification comes up saying the user name or password is incorrect. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem. I remove the email account and put it in again with no luck.  Hoping someone can help...

    This means that the password is not accepted. It is typed wrong on the phone, or misspelled or you must reset the password again.

    Have you by any chance changed any server options when you were changing your e-mail iPhone settings?

  • I lose e-mail addresses from my list of contacts since last week.

    Since last week, I lose the names and addresses of e-mail of my contacts list. Names starting with A disappear, including mine. When I write an email to myself, Firefox does not display the list of names beginning with 'A' as before.

    Well, I'm not familiar with how to move the contact back to site Web of Yahoo. I found an article on the website of Yahoo that you can synchronize your Mac with your Yahoo address book address book, but I fear that you may eventually lose some data from your Mac address book then I suggest to ask Yahoo for their solution.

  • I have a unwanted contact from my list of contacts. Where did you it comes and how do I remove it?

    original title: the unwanted contact (Kinky Cat)

    When I send an email, I'm going "to THE" for my contacts.  At the bottom of the list is called contact chat Kinky.
    Don't know where it comes from or how it get by.  It is not on my list of regular contacts.
    Can you help me?

    Hi.Kinky cat would be the name of a stripper to chat online by the sounds of it. Looks like somebody with access to your system has been looking at the Sales photos.

    If you open your email at the top of the page it says contacts. If you click on that a list will drop saying add edit and delete a contact. If you click on delete, you will see a list of your contacts. The name must be there and delete it. Then open your mailbox and lower left box, you will see contacts.
    If you click on it will bring up a list of your contacts if the name is it delete it. In the future because hackers use software called Keylogger that will record your keystrokes when you type your password use the Notepad to enter your passwords and save them under a different name as the password for example. Pictures of poodle or something to that effect so that you know what it is, but nobody else would not.
    When you need to use one of your notebook open passwords, click Open in the menu, click the name that you have chosen to save your password, and then click. The password will be displayed. High lite the password and right click and copy. Close Notepad off go back to the page you need the password right click on the line of password and the dough.
    At this point you have not pressed any key on the Board, and if there is a keylogger monitoring there is no information to find. I used this method for many years and never had a problem even when I detected a keylogger in my system which is very rare that I keep my own system every day once a month or a week as with some Anit-Virus plans.
    Hope this helps :-)
