  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!

• 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.
   

• Someone is using my address to send spam.

  I receive mail that I did not send messages "reviewed mail." These messages have my address email but different sender name. How can I hack my email right?

  It would be useful for one of your contacts to know that an email is really from you.

  One method would be to create a html signature and use it when you send emails to your family and friends.

  They may have already received some of these emails "bogus", then perhaps it might be a good idea to email appologising if they received fake e-mails allegedly from you. Inform them that they can say in the future if the email is to you if he has the specific signature as indicated in the email.

• hack my email and send nasty messages

  My email is used to send nasty messages to my mailing list.  This has happened for several days. I ran any security system I and cleaned up my drive. What can I do? Marilyn

  Hello

  If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
  had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
  list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
  could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
  any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
  (beneficiary).

  Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
  send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
  can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
  mail.

  I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
  This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
  As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
  SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
  SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
  instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
  as if by magic.)

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

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
  still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
  Change it again after these checks.

  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.

• 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?

  I use Windows Mail to my email.  I have my spam put in place game and it works fine.  The problem is someone hacked my email address and sending me junk mail saying it is my e-mail address.  example: if my email address is johndoe@*** and I have emails sent to this address, indicating that they were sent from johndoe@***.  On the sublect line it says johndoe@*** sell me Discount-123456.  How can I get rid of this type of incoming mail and not screw to the top of my own email address?

  Someone used my icloud email address to sign up for services such as spotify, pinterest, and ooVoo. I disabled these accounts because the emails received in my email, with the exception of ooVoo which seems to be a video app for iphone and I don't want to download this application so that the account is still active with my email. I changed the password but today I got an email that someone signed up with my Apple ID with a browser Internet Explorer on Windows PC. It is not possible since I am the owner of my account, so I changed my password again, but I'm afraid that my ID Apple is duplicated or someone is hacking my computer, or I don't really know what's going on. I received a phone call from Apple support last time and when they asked for my security questions, the answers does not match but my answers on my apple ID are always the same today I checked, so I don't know what is happening. Someone had the same problem? Help, please.

  along with the password you can enable two-factor authentication.

Is there a 'check the integrity of the messages' tool that could detect something wrong with the message? I can't believe a simple answer all can cause this...

• 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:
