  • Spam from my own email address

    I use MSN on Windows XP and today I received an email from my email address. When I opened it, it is a supplement for Viagra. It's as if I send my own spam free. I'm trying to understand how someone can do and prevent it from happening again. I use Norton Internet Security, and nothing was found after doing a scan. Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    It has nothing to do directly with your computer.

    E-mail is not sent directly out of our computers to the destination.

    Our activities email through the email providers mail server.

    Spammers are finding ways to "Tinker" with the servers.

    Spammers harvest email addresses and fake her from addresses, it's a way to avoid some anti-spam filters.

    That said, you have to scan your computer on a regular basis just to make sure that there is no. Trojans and malware sneak up on you.

  • I receive email spam from my yahoo email account contacts. Am I at risk of being hacked too?

    I get spam from my gmail contacts 2. One grandson, with a yahoo email account. Another, ' name sent on ", on account of yahoo from a friend of the family. There is no topic and no content in these emails, just a link to click on. I clicked on the first link sent my grandson. The first time, my search engine, Mozilla Firefox, would not lead the link. So 6 or so, he led to a site advertising Viagra. Quickly, I broke the link. I have not clicked on the link in his second e-mail "not applicable". But I sent him a separate email, asking him why he was sending these. Then today I received another one of those spam e-mails from the friend of the family (which had not sent us more than 2 years) and was immediately suspicious.

    It is obvious to me now that these two people have had their email accounts hijacked. Am I at risk of also taken hostage? My only security is Microsoft Security Essentials. It will be enough? Or I have to download Malwarebytes and perform a scan in safe mode, etc. ?

    Thank you for any answers you can provide.

  • Why am I able to receive an email from my own email address I never sent?

    I get a mail in my Inbox which sends it to my spam folder sent by my own email address that I have never written or sent. It's a junk mail and I want to stop, I see no way to stop email with some unwanted words as you can in windows xp.

    Firefox send an e-mail, it's strictly a web browser.

    If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

  • I get emails from my own email address to my email address. Someone hacked my email?

    I get e-mails as if I had sent them. They say is info@1-800 - cruise .com or chris@1-800 - cruise .com.
    How can I stop this? I'm sending obviously not emails to myself.

    I doubt that something has been hacked. In all probability, a spammer got your email address and use it as a fake from: address and a bit silly can also use it as a To: address.

    Displaying the source code of the message (using ctrl + u) can reveal something about the real origin of the message. While he won't say who sent him (and the real sender can be some innocent users that the machine has been compromised), it may be reassuring that the message is from a foreign location, and not an account or that you are responsible for the machine.

    Simply delete them. It is not possible to install anything on iOS using this method. For good measure, you can remove and reinstall the application allowing you to open it with, but I don't really have that is actually needed.

    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 is possible that you clicked the 'Block Images' item in the context menu by attempting to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > content: Load Images: Exceptions - see the web content, pop-ups, fonts and language settings

    A way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar.
    Click on the "More information" button opens the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
    Go to the tab Media of this "Page Info" window.
    Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.
    If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

  • HP Envy: I can't get my printer want print from my iPad or desktop.

    I can't get my printer to print from my computer. I reinstalled, does things for troubleshooting and can print ePrint but no Facebook, email or whatever it might be saved. Please help

    Hi @Dollgirl,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I noticed your post that you can't get your HP Envy to print from your iPad or your office. I am pleased to see that for you!

    What is the model number for your HP Envy? How can I find my model or printer number?

    What is the operating system on the desktop, Windows or Mac? What version? http://www.whatsmyos.com.

    To confirm that the hardware of the printer is functional, you are able to make a copy with the glass of the scanner of the printer? Copy of Documents.

    In the meantime, please try a hard reset by following the steps in this post, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector.

    Do not forget to return to this topic and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  • How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

    How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

    @AirForce9731,

    You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

  • Client DHCP is unable to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server.

    Client DHCP is unable to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server. I have a home edition of Windows XP attempts to connect to my router wirelessly with wireless or wired connection but I get an error in Event Viewer with the discription DHCP 1007 error message. From what I researched, I discovered that the DHCP service depends on the AFD, TCP/IP and NetBT services. All these services are correctly place and worked very well (even the DHCP service is running without error) but every time I try to release/renew my IP address I receive than DHCP warning in the case where the viewer and I just cannot get a valid IP address of the server (router) I also have one of these verizon wireless G3 usb adapters and it works fine. I also have a good ping back when I try to do a ping localhost (for the closure) I also tried the preinstallation of uninstalled drivers from the adapter/s and nothing works. The only entrees in the registry for DHCP error are also AFD, NetBT and TCP/IP nothing else there, also all the files in the/system32/drivers afd.sys netbt.sys and tcpip.sys in addition to solve the problem, I'll mention that I installed and reinstalled Northon earlier, I do not remember if the problem appears before or after that. I receive also any error or warning in the security log or at least I don't know how to read: P

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the information.

    I hope you know that it is risky to connect the laptop to the Internet with no firewall and no antivirus... If this laptop is already connected to the Internet in this State, he is perhaps already infected.

    You said you know the router works because the other computers can connect successfully to it.  You should check the configuration of the router to make sure that it is not configured to limit the number of IP address it supplies, and (b) it is not configured to filter users by MAC address.

    When this laptop is connected by Ethernet, even if he gets the IP address of 169.254.x.y, can you ping the router?  Find the IP address of the router on any computer connected to it by running the ipconfig command in a command prompt window.  The "default gateway" is the IP address of the router.  Run the ping command in the command prompt window as well.

    If the ping is successful, it is possible that you might be able to use an IP address in the correct range for an Ethernet cable (but I doubt that it works for the wireless).
