• My Hotmail account has been compromised and sends spam to all my contacts!

  I want to delete this account. I went through the steps to remove and it says "account closed" but it is always send spam to everyone on my contact list.

  Hello

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your email password (If
  the account is still very active).

  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 send spam.

  Hello.

  I have an iMac running OS X v10.9.5 with Mail v7.3 and I use godaddy as my email provider. I have three accounts with godaddy and one of them continues to send spam to all my contacts. I changed the password for this email to godaddy. What else can I do to prevent this from happening again? Thank you very much. CBo

  You can not - your account or one or more of your friends has been hacked rather than someone just received yours of online research. You can change your password; However, that is too late because the address is already used and probably sold several times (valid email addresses are purchased all the time so spammers can use a play of address and not to be taken as a spammer).

  The only way is to delete this account and establish a new - use a very difficult password and keep your address as Fort Knox.

• My email from Apple used to send spam

  This is the first time (that I know) that my Apple email address has been used to send spam in bulk. I don't think that the account has been hacked, since I'm still able to sign in iCloud and access my mail. I guess that my address is being spoofed. I contacted the people I thought that had received spam from me.

  Is it possible to stop this? I'm afraid that it will continue until everyone I contacted directly or sent by electronic mail will be spammed by me. It is an address that I use for almost everything.

  Are there steps I can take to keep my e-mail address be used this way?

  Thank you.

  Since your password has not changed for access, the password may have been learned through strikes or phishing somehow. It would still be a good idea to update your password information and security.  http://www.Apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

  Two-factor authentication is perhaps something to look at as well, so you can be made aware of all the connections on your account. Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support. To do this, before you change the other security settings on your account as your password if you decide to go ahead with it. Otherwise, you must wait 72 hours after the update of your password, etc. for security measures.

  Finally, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support should feel you the need for more reassured.

• Outlook Express - cannot send emails, can still receive emails. Send and receive worked very well until 13/04/11 - on all our computers

  Use Outlook Express 6.00 to manage e-mail.  Worked fine until this last week when it is able to receive emails, but sending is less error - unknown error - Protocol: SMTP Server Response: 550 your hose. 66.117242.170 is in our database of RBL. Port: 25. Secure (SSL): No, Server error. 550 0x800CCC69 error number.

  We have this problem on all our computers - no changes by us during this time.  Not sure if a Microsoft issue or our Internet & E-mail provider.  They tried to say the problem on our end, not with their system, but did not have this problem about a week ago.

  Any ideas on this problem?

  You have been blocked for spamming. Contact your ISP for help. They are the only one who can fix this for you.

• My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

  My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?

  Do not install or run an anti virus app.

  How do you know that your email has been "hacked"? It is a common practice for spammers to forge an envoy from the e-mail address. It may be that your email address has been misused. There's nothing to do if this is the case for you. The spammer will soon pass and usurp another email address.

  It's a good idea to immediately change your password by email if someone would actually managed to access your e-mail account.

• Unable to send email in Outlook Express 6 all of a sudden.

  Unable to send email in Outlook Express 6 all of a sudden.  I am running Windows XP.  All of a sudden one day I was not able to send e-mail, but I can receive. When this happened, I got "an unknown error has occurred. "" Account: 'Alan ntl', server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 421 aamtaout04 - winn.ispmail.ntl.com connection refused [82.26.72.74] ', Port: 465, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 421, error number: 0x800CCC67.

  However after reading your answers of Oct 2010 I changed port 587 and got "the connection to the server failed. Account: 'Alan ntl', server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, secure (SSL): Yes, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E "... Please help

  It is highly unlikely that removing OE and add it again will help it.

  The message "connection refused" says unambiguously that the server aamtaout04 - winn.ispmail.ntl.com does not accept connections on port 465.  So either you have the wrong specified server, you have the wrong port specified or the server actually has a problem, despite what tells you the mail service provider.

• Why Microsoft isn't an option in their email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Live Mail, hot Mail) block IP addresses that send spam?

  Why Microsoft isn't an option in their email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Live Mail, hot Mail) block IP addresses that send spam?

  Looks like something aside server.  Not to mention that change IPs and when you go to IPv6, the whole game changes.

  What email client you use that gives you this option now?

  You can block entire domains...  (Outlook in any case, not sure about the rest.)
