• I received an email from my address, but not send it.

  I received an email from my email address, and the text was a phishing scam. I have not clicked on anything in the message. I ran my security software and found no problem. I'd do anything else? Thank you for your help.

  It is not uncommon for messages of spam and phishing to have a fake sender name and address because if you're spamming, you will not use your real information. The idea behind using your name and address as the sender, it's that you're not likely to block you.

  Of course, it is always prudent to consider whether someone might have actually gained access to your e-mail account, consider changing your password, but usually it's just a case of falsification of documents.

  Hello

  Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make.
  Of course it makes it look like you or the other person who sent the
  Messaging. Someone intercepted a mail and it may not have been
  You causing him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
  or even someone could have sent an email on your part for
  someone else who has been compromised. Your friend can access to the
  headers and block the real senders, although these will be changed
  often.

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

  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.
