  Why firefox, send emails to my contacts from my e-mail invite them to learn more about Firefox Hello?

  Thanks for the clarification on the h which is exactly the test/email that gets sent when you or someone on your pc is to create a conversation of Hello firefox and click the "link email" to invite another person to this conversation. This is something that happens and gets sent after manual steps by the user, so there should not be a reason to worry about this.

  Alternatively, you can try it yourself as described in:

• my email is sending email from my contact list that I am not aurthorizing. How can I stop this?

  emails are sent to all the addresses in my address book, seek.  How can I stop.  Yahoo SBCglobal account

  Hello

  Check with the help of your e-mail account, because they can also help if the emails are actually
  sending your account which is actually probably not. More likely, the spammers have
  a copy of your contacts or a copy of an email sent to these contacts.

  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.

  Hello

  If they use a 3rd party email provider you should contact them. Also contact your
  email provider and all your contacts who have been compromised. Most of those
  the fraudsters will use their own e-mail servers, which makes it difficult to stop.
  If you can determine their ISP/Internet service provider do not forget to contact them if these
  will generally be non-responsive areas of the world.

  Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make. Of course, it does
  it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
  It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
  or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been
  compromise. Your friend can access headers and block the real senders of
  those who will change often.

• Hotmail never send emails asking for password and other details with the warning that the account will be susepended if the information is not given?

  I get messages in English and French attention that my account hotmail will be suspended if I don't provide the information. I guess it's phishing and delete the emails. Is my account at risk of being suspended?

  Thank you

  It is a common phishing scam as you can imagine - Hotmail and other organizations do not request this type of information. Do not answer, mark the email as spam and delete it

• I send email to different contacts in different groups. Apple has removed the old symbol of head and shoulders to select contacts. The new system if possible he's so screwed you cannot understand it.

  Apple has removed the symbol of the head and shoulders of e-mail that was used to select contacts. Very very easy. Now, it's so complicated on my new macbook, it is impossible to understand how to select several contacts during transfer or composition. Groups for me is not the answer.

  I'm not sure that I understood what you're asking, but you select several contacts in Contacts.app in the standard way. It is to hold down the ⌘ (cmd) key while selecting them with the mouse clicks. Then drag the names chosen for the To: field of the message.
