my list of email contacts has been hyjacked
my list of email contacts has been hyjacked and emails are sent to my e-mail when my computer is not yet lit. It happened 5 times now, recently 14/03/10 at 17:35 PST.after the first time, I followed the advice of windows & changed my password & security info. but that did not stop the problem. Windows refuses to help me with this problem.
I ran windows, as well as the superanti virus security, and I have webroot. all to nothing does not. Help
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.

=============================================
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.
Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone.

My list of email contacts has disappeared - how do I restore it?
It says I need to sign in with ID that I use for hotmail or messenger. But I do not use one of these. When I put the mail I have no need to connect to all as I am the only person who uses it. I did something wrong in trying to figure out how to access my emails when out of town?

My email account has been hacked. What can I do to stop the unathorized email going to my contact list?
original title: hacked e-mail accountIf the hacker has your address list now I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing you can do.
If it is using your real address list (as opposed to having downloaded/imported) then change your password should do, but unless this intruder is a fool, he or she has already copied your list of contacts.

A random contact has been set up as phones 'owner '.
Hi, I think something must have happened when my phone was in my pocket. Somehow a contact has been implemented as the "owner" in user accounts.
Apparently not wanting me to come back to me! I am very worried because it seems really permanent.
You should check under me contact, edit the details and ensure that data as part of myself not stored in another contact as well.

I'm at my wits end, HELP ME! I was typing an email that has been of about 200 words I hit the space bar and grabbed the next word and looked up the eyes and my email everything was gone! This happened to me several times and I can't ever find anywhere. It just disappears. Can someone help me? I want to know why he spends, how I can solve this problem how can I recover my work and where it went! I blame my laptop or windows or the manufacturer?
I wrote a full description of my problem, but of course it also disappeared. I type 2-300 words and pooofff they disappear I can't explain it better or go on any more because I just it loose once AGAIN all! I tried to explain in more detail a related problem, but of course he gone too so I send this before I lose too.original title: email disappearsThe text turns blue, because you mentioned it. The most plausible explanation to highlight all of the text while typing is due to hit CTRL-A, which is the same as Edit | Select all. Then when you type a character when this text is highlighted, then highlighted (blue) text is replaced by the character you typed. Be very careful to not press the CTRL key instead of the SHIFT key when you type a capital letter A or else which will never happen.
If your cursor jumps around then also scan your system against viruses and malware.
