Receive emails from contacts that are not contacts

I get emails that appear to come from a contact, but they are not. It has only a website link that either takes me to an online * or gets blocked by my antivirus. The address is from is the same as my email address, but they say that they don't send it. They say that they got the same thing of me, but I didn't send anything to anyone. What can I do to stop these emails to enter without blocking a contact?

Hello

You can block the real address in the header as being those who are usurped.

Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make. Of course, it does
it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been
compromise. Your friend can access headers and block the real senders of
those who will change often.

  • Hotmail account: I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list

    I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list, for example the library.  My account has been hacked recently, and I have informed Windows CE.  I then installed Avast security.  Since only known e-mail senders spend their emails.  Help, please.

    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It seems that Avast is blocking messages from anyone not in your contacts list (much too tight fixed).  Disable the function of checking email and see if that solves the problem.  If so, run it without the option of e-mail enabled - it does not really help as long as you take normal precautions (as not to open attachments from people you don't know / trust and things like that).  If you don't know how to disable this feature, contact technical support Avast (I do not use the product so I don't know how, but it's probably under Options or something like that).  If this does not work, try to go to Microsoft Security Essentialshttp://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html where I know that this problem is not happen and see if that solved the problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • My account has been hacked. How that affects people who have received emails from my account, but not me?

    I wasn't there when my account has been hacked.  How is it that compromised the accounts of those who have received the emails not authorized by me.  Should I change to another email account/address e-mail so that they feel safe to receive future email from me?

    If they do not follow all the links or software as a result of these messages, so there is no risk for them.

    As for you, if you can still access your mailbox, log in using a web browser, change your password, update the security features, and you should be sure again.

    If your mailbox provider allows it, be sure to enable always 'use HTTPS.  That can go a long way towards ensuring you don't get hacked again.

  • Read VeriStand channel from inside the custom device that are not part of the custom device?

    Is it possible to read VeriStand channels from within a custom device VeriStand (RT Driver) that are not part of this custom device?

    For example, suppose I want to be able to configure a channel in my custom device to always be twice the value of a string of material that my user selects (I know, better/more simple ways to do this, but this is just a simple example ).  Can I do this from the device custom without programmatically create a mapping of the system? (I've done this before and it is messy and VERY prone to error of the user).

    Thank you!

    good point

    the channel ID (U64s) are not the same in the engine config of vs. Instead, you must set 'references to dependent item' in the config and then get these references in the engine.
