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.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

  • My computer sends messages to groups of people when I'm offline. How can I stop this?

    My computer is send emails to people when I'm offline. How can I stop this? It does same all night when I'm asleep and the computer is closed.

    How do you know it's your computer?

    If you think you will realize that it is impossible, so you need to find another explanation.

    In fact, the phenomenon is quite common. What is happening is that a computer is infested with malware that uses the address book on the computer to send messages infected to the names in the address book. So you have the bizarre situation that you can receive malware apparently from yourself. Take great care not to open any message to yourself you know that you did not send.

    The best thing you can do is to warn your friends about what is happening. Try to give them the object that is used in false infected mails. You may be able to identify which computer is infected. It depends on how many addresses in the address book of the infected computer. Eventually, the owner of the computer will be aware of the situation, the measures and messages will stop. Of course, at that time another computer can get infected and begins a new wave of infected mail.

    I'm on a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro computer and just upgraded to the most recent Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  When I open a PDF file a window opens saying "the application could not start (0xc0000005).  Click OK to close this application"I click OK and the window opens up again about three or four times before it finally stopped.  My PDF file is then visible.  This is driving me crazy!  I tried to use "Repair Installation" in the Menu Help, but it has no effect.  I downloaded and installed the latest update - and this miserable message keeps popping up!  Before you do a system restore to revert to the previous version, can someone please tell me how to solve this problem?  Thank you very much.

    There might be a chance of the previous version left overs. Try uninstalling Acrobat using cleaning tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

    My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?

    I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.

    I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.

    Can anyone help?

    There is not really a way to do it.  Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.

    In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov.  That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.

    The best solution is to call your ISP, ask a NEW e-mail address.
    Then remove your current address with the new.
    Of course, you will have the tedious task of informing your contacts of your new address.

    We have 2 macbookpros 10.10.5 - we recently changed to gmail.   now when my wife deletes an email on your Mac... that electronic mail is also deleted on my mac - and if I delete an email on the same account - remove the e-mail on his computer - we don't want that to happen - we want the actions on a computer to be independent of the actions on another computer.

    How can we stop this?

    My first recommendation is that each of you get your own e-mail account. They are free. If you decide not to do this, change to POP3 instead of IMAP Gmail settings. If you connect to Gmail via your browser, go to the settings, then transfer and POP/IMAP. Change to activate the POP protocol for all messages.
