Suspicious emails from me to my Contacts
Recently, two of my contacts said that they have received the suspicious email me.
We have an e-mail address of * address email is removed from the privacy *, but watch my name. The second, to another contact, shows my name and a date sent June-, 1969. I ran Microsoft Essentials scan and Scanner security of Microsoft and no virus, spyware or malware was found.
I or my contacts should I do something else? Thank you

Suspicious email from microsoft
I also rec would be email to Microsoft requesting sensitive information, claiming that all non verified accounts would cease. It's a legitimate request? Please make it easier to transmit these requests directly at home without having to go through this process, or worry on my account while I wait for a response. Respectfully.

It is a scam and trying to access your account (no doubt ask your hotmail, live mail, same login and password to "verify" the account, right...?)
I hope that you ignored it. If not, change your account passwords as soon as POSSIBLE. Use strong passwords and the unique passwords (never use the same password on several sensitive accounts such as enamel and anything financial.)You will probably find this interesting article by SM... http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/phishing-scams.aspx -

do not send email from contact form
I recently tried to do a form of contact in Muse. Recently, I upgraded my email on a business gmail account and my adobe id email opted for this new email and address. The contact form I did also corresponds to the same email address, but I still do not receive any emails from the contact form I created. Emails are some how always bounce back to my old email address (which was a standard yahoo email). I can't understand where the problem is, please help!
Could you please check the form parameters and check you always use only not yahoo in the same as email address shown below. Additionally, if the email is updated in the muse project, try to download the site again and see if that helps. ?

Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA).
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxNo, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer
