Email account is send ads to people on my list and I'm not logged in!

I was called by a couple of contacts to let me know that they have received emails (that I had not sent). They are my account Windows Live and no topic, but when the e-mail message is opened it is for an ad. My concern is that now my password may be known and that the virus could spread through this malicious program. I have Microsoft Security Essentials (implemented for the automatic update) and also use Advanced System Care from Iobit version 5 to perform deep analysis on a daily basis and I also usually run the programs so I was online. No horse of Trojan or virus activity has been reported, but the emails keep coming out.

What is the best way or program to verify phishing scams and other viruses that use my account without my authorization. I understand that I can't even change my password until the problem is resolved. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as well as the means to return follow the owner/creator of the virus, so it can be finalized.
Thank you

Hello

Emails can be supplied not from your PC, or even from your Windows Live account. But the first thing you should do is change the password to your Windows Live account. Also look on the help pages of Windows Live for guidance as suggested previously.

I've seen malware that sends emails claiming come from an e-mail address that has had the misfortune to be stored somewhere on the infected PC (not necessarily your PC), for example, a legitimate email that has been sent by you, so that the PC or in this address book e-mail PCs. In other words, the e-mail message was deliberately hidden to hide its true origin.

There may be nothing you can other people that he is not sure who is responsible for and suggest all your contacts view their PC for a virus.

  • I closed an email account so want to delete the profile of Thunderbird, so it does not look for new emails, but I want to access old emails.

    Hello

    I want to delete an old email address which is now closed from Thunderbird, but I want to keep the emails and have access to them.

    I can see how to remove an email account, but where the email go and how can I access them.

    I guess a solution would be to move all the emails to a folder in another account - this is the simplest option / best

    You can move all the messages on the account to delete your 'Local folders' account or any other account you may have.
    Notice, in the event that you move them to another account which is be a one IMAP, these messages would be uploaded to the server.

    There's no place to really move your message so that your problem is with a program 3rd party on a phone from Apple. It has nothing to do with Windows, Office, Windows Phone, etc.

    On the other hand, apparently you have provided access during installation, accept the default option, which gives the application access to your address book.

  • Creating new email accounts but ONLY Inbox is displayed. Rsh, Snt, Tmplts, DRTS are not. Related: mail server rejects DFSP user even if I copy fm c/Panel

    E-mail server for domain uutupelo.org name is under my control with c/Panel. I added a new account with c/Panel with an appropriate password. The account displays correctly on c/wood. When I use T/bird 38.2.0 to add this new account, that account is found and the settings displayed, but when I PASTE the password in Tbird, the "password or username" is rejected.
    When the account appears in T/bird ONLY shows the Inbox (or sometimes up to 19 inboxes show although I have installed the new feature tested). I have no folder for sent, drafts, models or Trash. T/bird will not accept actions of "New folder" either for the new account.

    These files can only be generated when there is something to put in it. Did you send or delete all messages yet? Or registration as a project?

    You say that you are pasting a password. This means is not a trivially-memory string and uses, shall we say, the characters 'exotic '? E-mail protocols have a narrow idea of what is a valid character. Nonalphanumeric characters can not be accepted by e-mail (pop, imap, smtp) protocols, while being OK via the http protocol used in Web-based e-mail. This is why a password that works in a context cannot be good in another.

  • my account has been temporarily blocked without reason in December and I can not even access

    OK, so in December, my old account was temp blocked without reason, when I didn't play the call of duty with my uncle and his friends. two days later is when it happened. I tried to contact support several times and they always say they can't discuss why it was blocked or when it will be unlocked. Only one, that I talked to sent me here and the rest ignore me and close my support requests without answering. I do not understand why I am blocked nearly 3 years of being a good sport. I swear, when you kill me and when they start talking about the trash I cut the. was still almost 4 months of gold left, which will not be refunded. The main reason I have my account is to play with friends and family who I don't get to see because we are in different States, and it gives us a way to always play things together. Can someone help me please. PS This is my all microsoft account that is blocked not only on xbox.

    If Microsoft has said they cannot discuss, what makes you think we can do something? This is a user forum.

  • The folder "inbox" for one of my email accounts where does not appear on the screen, but all of the messages are there, and I can click on each one to see...

    I've seen other people having this problem too and their problem solved by using the link "file repair". I tried this also - no effect...

    It seems to be a pure display problem, as all emails are there, and when I click on a specific location where a specific e-mail was supposed to appear, I can open the e-mail OK. I have no insight of what is in my Inbox. When I keep my mouse on the account of the column in the left window, a little black watch too, with all the new messages being listed.

    I don't have this problem with one of my email accounts has seven. All the others work fine, and this is also several weeks until what stopped it a few days ago.

    Restarting the computer does not help.

    I use Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system.

    Try this:

    Select the Inbox that shows an invisible list.

We went up to remove the e-mail account and rebuild. No change! What is really unusual is that when I do in the edition of the account, there is no 'box' around the signature line ("sent from my...") ") sound as if somewhere it has become embedded and cannot be changed.

  • Ghost email account after the restoration again Treo 800w combined

    I had to replace my Treo 800w because I could no longer calls. I used Activesync and Sprite backup to restore my data and apps on my new camera. A few issues I had with this is that I now have a ghost on the device e-mail account. On the today screen, it shows the email account I had set up on my previous 800w and shows I've got 62 unread emails. When I click on it it does not open the e-mail folder but goes to the account selection screen. Initially, she had the opportunity to set up a new account. I tried to set up a new account, but it says that the name was already used, I changed the name and I'm able to get to the email address of the account but I can't get rid of the old account which always appears on the screen today. It's really annoying.

    Any help to delete this account would be appreciated.

    Mark,

    Thanks for the reply. In fact, I found an easier way to solve the problem.

    1) go to Sprite backup settings and uncheck the e-mail.

    (2) make a backup.

    (3) do a restore. No e-mail accounts don't are set up again.

    (4) set up the desired e-mail account.

    This fixed my problem without doing the hard reset.
