Outlook sends spam
My Outlook send spam to my entire database. I downloaded all the updates and Kaspersky antivirus software detect anything. How can I stop this?
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.

Why Microsoft isn't an option in their email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Live Mail, hot Mail) block IP addresses that send spam?
Looks like something aside server. Not to mention that change IPs and when you go to IPv6, the whole game changes.

You can block entire domains... (Outlook in any case, not sure about the rest.)

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.

My email from Apple used to send spam
This is the first time (that I know) that my Apple email address has been used to send spam in bulk. I don't think that the account has been hacked, since I'm still able to sign in iCloud and access my mail. I guess that my address is being spoofed. I contacted the people I thought that had received spam from me.
Is it possible to stop this? I'm afraid that it will continue until everyone I contacted directly or sent by electronic mail will be spammed by me. It is an address that I use for almost everything.
Are there steps I can take to keep my e-mail address be used this way?
Thank you.

Since your password has not changed for access, the password may have been learned through strikes or phishing somehow. It would still be a good idea to update your password information and security. http://www.Apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/
Two-factor authentication is perhaps something to look at as well, so you can be made aware of all the connections on your account. Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support. To do this, before you change the other security settings on your account as your password if you decide to go ahead with it. Otherwise, you must wait 72 hours after the update of your password, etc. for security measures.
Finally, Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support should feel you the need for more reassured.

The IP address is send spam. Need of spyware for MacBook
My internet provider sent an email saying that my IP address has been sending SPAM. They suggested that I put a SPAM filter on my MacBook Pro. I don't know who I should use.
If you something like that, your ISP will close your connection in the blink of an eye and expect to take measures to restore.
It is always a SCAM.

Hello.
I have an iMac running OS X v10.9.5 with Mail v7.3 and I use godaddy as my email provider. I have three accounts with godaddy and one of them continues to send spam to all my contacts. I changed the password for this email to godaddy. What else can I do to prevent this from happening again? Thank you very much. CBo
You can not - your account or one or more of your friends has been hacked rather than someone just received yours of online research. You can change your password; However, that is too late because the address is already used and probably sold several times (valid email addresses are purchased all the time so spammers can use a play of address and not to be taken as a spammer).
The only way is to delete this account and establish a new - use a very difficult password and keep your address as Fort Knox.

I've already changed my password, but that someone is using my email address to send spam... help! I can't find a phone number for Microsoft anywhere.
Send a message using any specific e-mail address, it's the best thing to do and something that cannot be stopped. Just because your address is used to send the mail does not mean that your e-mail account is used. If you have updated password of your account for something strong (see http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspx) and updated all the security tools of the account, such as phone numbers cell and active account and security issues to always use HTTPS, then you have protected your account as it can be protected and it is probably not your account used to send the mail just your address. Spammers who do it all the time.
