  ===============================================================

  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.

• How can someone else use my email address?

  Original title:

  My email address

  Someone is using MY email address.  In my balls was a * consignment sent from MY eddress.  How can someone else use my email address?  What can I do about it?

  Spammers use other peoples addresses all the time. It's easy. The only thing you could really do is change your address. On the positive side, they usually do this method for a few days and then change the address, then it must stop.

• Im trying to reset my password but the link is not be sent to my email, what should I do?

  I need help

  Check the email address that you have assigned to your account - it is not what you expect.

• Prevent the sendout spam using my email address

  De :  Allen

   

  My email box is full of "returned and Undelivarable Messages" using my e-mail address as sender.  Some are in foreign languages.  How can I stop someone from using my email address to send mass spam e-mail? My antivirus programs and spyware do not seem to help.

  De :  Malke

   

  You can not. A spammer would have got your address because your email address is in the address book a friend on the computer infected friend. Or could have clicked on a spam message (sending that message "unsubscribe" to a spammer allows them just to know that they have a direct email address). Or maybe you gave your email address to a company without a good privacy statement or an evil that lied about their privacy policy. Your computer is perhaps even infected and spammers now have your address.

  All you can do is:

  1 make sure that your computer is free from virus/malware so that you know that you are not guilty of sending spam.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. get rid of this email address and make more sense to give a new. Use a "disposable" for spam free email account.

  3. use filtering, both at the level of the web server in your mail client if you use an anti-spam. You have usually no control over the filtering of spam on your web server except to turn it on and possibly have white/black lists.

  Here are some links to help you understand spam and what you can do to limit your exposure to it:

  http://www.spamlaws.com/
  http://www.Mall-NET.com/spamfaq.html

  Weblinks of general security that are aimed at end users - use their research capacity to look for articles on websites talking about spam since there are lots of other useful:

• 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.
