    Copied spam my address book so that I wasn't using email

    I use Windows XP and Outlook Express 6.  Recently, while I was on the Net, but not by e-mail, spam has been received and sent himself to a lot of people in my address book under my own name and e-mail address.  He led "this kit changed my life", and it seems to research at various forums of discussion it has been around for several months, always with various English misspelled and poorly punctuated texts with without capital letters and a hyperlink to sites with names of different people.  I changed my e-mail address and password in a day, but my contacts has often received several versions of spam in the coming days.  My computer has been professionally checked and has no infection, and I thought that I was sufficiently protected by AVG Internet Security 2012 and my ISP (BT).  I hope that my new email address is more difficult to discover by chance, but is it possible that I can avoid this kind of thing does not happen?  For the moment, I completely emptied my address book and print on screenprints, which is a nuisance, but at least there is nothing to hack.  It is obvious that the text was spam when I opened then Outlook Express, because there were several notices referring to obsolete addresses NDR spam itself, I have the above would be deleted immediately if I had known, he had come, because it was so obvious, being on a scheme to get rich quickly and terrible English and sender's name was a pretty ridiculous (which I forgot in my haste of) delete spam).

  • my contact list has been hacked and disappeared completely, what do I do?

    Today (17/08/16) while doing a search for card on my iPod, I received a message that my device could not connect with the server. I checked the wifi settings and everything seemed normal.

    A few hours later I started to receive messages undelivered Damon of the people on my contact list, but I had not sent all recent messages. He became a snowstorm of mail returned with comments indicating that a file 'drop zone .pdf' could not be opened.

    When I went to my contact list to meet some of the shippers, I found that my list of contacts it had been cleaned up with only my name remaining. This list was perhaps 200 + names and information. I've never had a security problem with apple products and I am a user since the 1980s.

    I share an Internet connection with my other significant and it has a windows 10 laptop PC. I did a complete antivirus on his device scan and found three variations of a Trojan which were immediately eliminated. I'm assuming that one of the virus/Trojan horse the culprit but it is possible t it completely deleted (not copied) my entire contact list and if so, is there a way to restore the original information? In addition, I find that most of my posts had been blurred and missing both headers

  • My Windows Live Hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.

    How can I delete an email without sending a confirmation to this account?  My hotmail account has been hacked and they have added an additional email address to recover passwords for security.  To remove the address, the only apparent is to send a confirmation email to the address I want to delete.  It is counterproductive.  I have a password, but if they can obtain the information via another email address, my account is never going to be safe.   I got this address for a long time and do not want to lose.  However, he begins to feel that my only option is to go with another provider.

    Thank you

    Hello

    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.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  • 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.

    Know that it is a forum for peer-to-peer.  You don't talk to Microsoft directly here.

    The real answer is that you can * never * regain access to your account, because there may be no real connection you can prove between you (as an individual) and the account you are trying to access.

    Probably you have not paid to the account, the password was probably not difficult (or if it had probably been changed lately) and once it's been hacked (if it was) a sneaky/destroyer hacker would have just erased everything on it and started using it to spam all what they whomeever they wanted.  Although there is a chance that it does not - the chance is equal that he did - if you * are * able to prove somehow this account is linked to you in a meaningful way (this way to be determined by the Microsoft support) and are then able to restore access to the account - you can always get nothing back, you have not backed up elsewhere (backups - they are good for ALL of your electronic data).
