Spam sent from my account, it continues to be, I want to close it

my account is spam again to my contacts list.  I deleted all the emails, I changed my password, I have good firewall etc, but it continues to be.  I think I should just close the account.  How can I delete my account.

Hello

You probably don't need to close the account, and you do not
specify which email provider that you use.

Are you sure of that emails have been sent to your account?
Will there be copies in the sent folder? Do you have courses anti -
protection against viruses in place?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make.
Of course it makes it look like you or the other person who sent the
Messaging. Someone intercepted a mail and it may not have been
You causing him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your part for
someone else who has been compromised. Your friend can access to the
headers and block the real senders, although these will be changed
often.

  • Messages sent from one account comes back as another

    People:

    I recently moved to 10.9 after many years to 10.6... I have multiple e-mail accounts set up in the two [I have a triple boot MBPro 09]... but lately spend most of my time to 10.9.  A number of times where I got Mail highlighted in my account at the top of the page, sent an e-mail to him... but the answer comes back to the account number two, reported as being on the second account?  Check "sent" from the number an account shows that it was sent from this account. but the return/reply came back at number two and marked as ' of' the second.  Both accounts are distinct types and it's a bit embarrassing to have that happen... Since "accounts" do not have "send as" or options "answer to" I don't know how this happens...  In fact a few years ago, my wife running 10.6 MacBook had the same question... do not think that we have never solved this problem... so I think that it is a "known issue" with Mail... do not know what is "known" in this topic.

    Thank you

    e.e.p.

    Try mail/preferences/AccountType account information. Select an account, and then access the server of outgoing (SMTP) mail. In the menu drop-down select list server SMPT Edit. Then set up a server for each e-mail account that is associated with the e-mail address. Then go to each account and set this server as the Mail Server outgoing (SMTP). You can click on use only this server if you wish.

  • Hotmail compromised and the e-mail sent from the account (but not by me)

    Hello.

    My hotmail account was accessed by someone other than me. In addition, they sent an email on my behalf * of my own account * to a friend. As the content is of a sensitive nature, it caused a lot of trouble for me.

    The person who consulted with my account was pretty sneaky to delete the email in the "sent" folder, but forgot the file deleted. If I was able to read and can say 100% that I never sent it me. I am very confused by the present.

    I have changed my password, but I would go at the bottom of this. I would like to know how my email was consulted in the first place, and more important again, if there is a way to find who did this, then I can take the case more far and possibly prosecute legal, as I feel that my privacy has been violated.

    I must point out that my password (at the time) has not changed. The one who did this, tact has left my account from what I can tell. Their agenda was just to send the mentioned e-mail, which leads me to believe that I probably know the person.

    On a note more and probably another case, I have a problem confirming my security information for more secure my account so that this does not happen. I wanted to add another phone number and e-mail, but it just repeat myself that when I try and click on the tab "validate":

    You added [email address] .com to your account, but it must be confirmed before you can use it.

    Note: You can use your computer approved to confirm this information, the sign from this computer, go on the account overview page and then click on confirm next to this information.

    I get a similar message when I try to confirm my phone number.

    Thanks for any help, because I am very stressed out of all this.

    I've had this year of email address and never been hacked before.

    You might well be a misinterpretation of the events. Another explanation is that one of your friends has a malware infestation. The malicious software causes the computer to send messages to all persons named in their address book.  The message is supposed to come from a person who is selected in the address book, but it's a subterfuge the message is actually the computer infected. This would explain why it is in your deleted items folder and not your sent items folder. Anti-spam on your computer defenses have identified the incoming spam message and put it where it belongs.

    It is generally not easy to identify who has the infected computer. In the only case that I met, it was possible to narrow down the identity of the infected computer from the list of people who receive messages. A close examination of the list revealed a name that was not known to all the others, except for one who had the infected computer. Anti-malware running on the infected computer software ended the avalanche of annoying messages

    You should be aware that what I have described is actually a very common way to distribute malicious software from one computer to another. Opening of the item deleted on your computer could lead to malware foothold on your computer and start a new wave of infected messages which, in this case, are sent from your computer to everyone in your address book. You must carefully check your computer for malware to make sure this does not happen or stop it if they started to be sent.

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)
    http://www.SUPERAntiSpyware.com/download.html

    When talking to friends the problem, be very careful what you say that the charges can very quickly lose you your friends. Explain how you check your computer for malware so that they know how they can check their own computers. Let them do, and I hope that the problem will end.

  • Spam sent to contacts in the sent folder

    These last two weeks I had spams sent from my hotmail account. I've changed the password several times, most recently yesterday to a complex password using numbers and letters of symbols. Even now, I have more spam that was sent from my Hotmail account. I see these messages in my sent folder, see "Delivered" in my Inbox. My family tells me these emails.

    I rarely use my account Hotmail, its mainly here for subscription and FB reviews. What can I do to stop this as change my password doesn't seem to help. I have run scans for viruses on my computer at home and show no virus.

    Hello Gaile,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I appreciate your time.

    I suggest to disable the antivirus software and check the number.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Please keep us updated.

    Thank you
