My Yahoo email account is sending spam.

• 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.

  1st thing to do is to warn them that their yahoo accounts have been compromised; You can call if necessary if they are not replying to emails on your part

  and also tell them to change their email Yahoo password

  ___________________________________________________________

  and for you to be on the safe side, do a scan.

  Download update and scan with the free version of malwarebytes anti-malware

  You can also download and run rkill to stop the process of problem before you download and scan with malwarebytes

• I want to send via my YAHOO email account

  I WANT TO SEND PICTURES VIA MY YAHOO EMAIL ACCOUNT

  Please, do not type in uppercase.  It is difficult to read and is considered as shouting.

  In the toolbar is an icon that looks like a paper clip (or you can add it to the toolbar if necessary).  It is the attachment icon.  With the open email, click on the attachment icon and follow the directions to locate the file you want to attach (the picture) and then follow the directions to complete the attachment.  When you send the email, the picture will be attached for the recipient to open.  Try to use a type of current (such as .jpg) file to send the photo, so that the recipient is not troubled to convert the file to be able to see it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• How can I stop the pirate who has gaqined acccess to all my email contacts, to send spam to them since my email account.

  I was using my computer in an airport with Wi - Fi free and open my email account and responded to a known contact who asked me to click on click here to open the video. When I did another option was presented, which was to click on one of the three to win a prize. Then I tried to delete the message but couldn't, tried to sign out of the account but couldn't that be and could not access my mail for at least 15 minutes, when I was able to disconnect. I signed up again and remove the problem as spam e-mail. Check my emails sent and discovered that the e-mail I had received had now been forwarded to everyone on my contact list. This happened the Feb.15th, I sent emails to all my contacts to inform, not to open no matter what mail from me because I had been hacked. I received the Feb.16th 13 mail delivery failure notifications and notifications of failure of Feb.18th 11.

  Hello

  I recommend you to change the email password and also communicate with the mail provider to resolve the problem.

• Why can I not add a yahoo email account to "People" app?

  I'm trying to follow the instructions to activate the application of people to see all the contacts in my mail.  but when I try to add an account, the only choices are Hotmail, Twitter, Outlook and Google, none of which I use.  Sorry, but I use Yahoo and I'm happy with it.  So, I am correct that I can't add yahoo contacts to the people?

  I created a yahoo email link in the pane on the start page email and it works, but only to see and read the mail - I can't send mails (except in typing an address) because my contact list was not imported.  It seems so if I can only use it efficiently using the browser.  Which is OK, but not what I thought was intended... Did I something wrong?
  Thank you!

  PS: Later, after this announcement, it dawned on me that this could really be a software issue, so I'll also it posting in forum Windows RT.  Thank you.

  PPS 14/11/2012: in response to another of my posts, someone suggested the simple solution that I followed: open a GMail account, import my contacts from Yahoo to Gmail, then add the Gmail account to the accounts of persons of the Surface.  Bingo, had my Yahoo on the Surface contacts in 5 minutes!
