There is an unknown entry in my Hotmail Contact list

Similar Questions

• I opened a FACEBOOK account, and now my hotmail contact list everything is used to send a Trojan horse.

  I have this undelieverd more of 30 e-mail that link that contains a Trojan horse. These have been posted because some stole my hotmail contacts list and mailed these stars in my name.

  I realize, this is a free account, but there should be a way to prevent this from happening. I know he stole because I used only one of the contacts yesterday and I accidentally misspelled the address and did not notice that the mail bounced.

  This is not only annoying, but a major concern for me because I use internet to Social Affairs and to promote my books.

  I hold in my Inbox mailbox so that you can access that person. I will also make this post with the Crimes on Federal Internet site, called IC3.

• Hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010

  My hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010 and is sending spams (viagra ads) to everyone in my contacts several times.  I can't stop it.  I run Microsoft Essentials, Norton 360 Suite and Malware, changed my password, but it is still happeneing.  Help!  What can I do to stop this?

  Hello

  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.

• Since last week, I had a problem loading my Hotmail contact list addresses in the bar 'To '. It does not occur in Internet Explorer

  Problem with Hotmail. Usually when I start typing an address that is in my contact list, he fills automatically. Now I just get a circle going round and round. If I go to my contact list and select the address and click 'send email' will initially, it disappears in a second or two. To send a message, I have to enter the entire e-mail address in the field "to". This problem started about a week or two ago and doesn't happen when I connect to Hotmail using Internet Explorer.

  It left me speechless. Still the same problem. I noticed that sometimes the auto-fill starts working for a few seconds, then I get the spinning wheel.
  I will try to spend some time on it this weekend.

  I have a virus in my Hotmail account and someone put their name in my list of contacts without an e-mail address.  I see when I open my contacts list when you press the button to, but do not see it when you go to the contacts list.  How can I remove this name?

• Infected by a virus that automatically sends to all Hotmail contacts list

However when I connect to hotmail from another computer not infected at a different location, the spamming of my hotmail contacts re - occurred which seems to suggest the virus got on the hotmail server. Everyone knows this. I ran AVG etc. on the original computer, but no virus found.
