Someone is using my email address to send messages, I ran virus/malware does not solve the problem
Spam is sent from my email account. I ran Norton 360 and windows of scanning. Norton detected 45 threats and windows none, which tells me that my system is now clean. But the problem persists. What can I do next?
E-mail may not be sent from your machine. Spammers usurp email addresses all the time. Nothing you can do about it.

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

someone is using my email address to send emais. I tried to reset my password but I am not able to. He says that the answer to my secret question does not. I know I'm getting the correct ansewer. Help, please.
Hi, Catherine.
You'd better post in the Windows Live Solution Center-Hotmail like that is dedicated to Windows Live Hotmail.
If you have not implemented alternative methods to check your Hotmail credentials, I suggest do it after your account is returned. For more information, see Security Hotmail to protect and recover your account .
Good luck!

Original title: I will take a phone call from "Windows Care" telling me that my computer was sending Windows messages. He wanted to access my computer to solve the problem. Is anyone aware of this company?
Does anyone got a call from 213-221-3528 "Windows Care"? I received a phone call from "Windows Care" telling me that my computer was sending Windows messages. I had some problems with error messages saying that there is an unknown device on my computer. The care Windows person wanted access to my computer to solve the problem. I would not grant him permission until I have check this. Everyone is aware of this company and it is legitimate?
It is most certainly NOT legitimate. There are a great many scams running right now, in many countries around the world, with similar claims. None of them believe. Microsoft never call unless you called first and made arrangements for a recall to work.

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. -

That made Apple to fix the problem where the body of emails is endangered and there is a note saying the e-mail was not downloaded from the server? It's also appear on messages that are put in the trash. I have a pop.earthlink account and understand that it affects the pop accounts. The problem started after I downloaded IOS 9 and is much worse. Messages received yesterday are now endangered, however some messages that I received in early November before downloading the new software still exist and are very good.
Hi Bonnie,.
It is a user to user forum, anything that apple made to solve a problem so isn't something you find info on here.
The iOS is not a classic operating system. I asked that your post moved to the forum of the iPad.
POP accounts are generally customer (as opposed to the server function) and stored on your device. If your device on space is insufficient, the settings for the e-mail may restrict downloads on your device, resulting in the message in question. This is particularly true for all messages that come with attachments or are preformatted html. Ask your contacts to send messages in plain text.
