  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.

• my contact list has been hacked and disappeared completely, what do I do?

  Today (17/08/16) while doing a search for card on my iPod, I received a message that my device could not connect with the server. I checked the wifi settings and everything seemed normal.

  A few hours later I started to receive messages undelivered Damon of the people on my contact list, but I had not sent all recent messages. He became a snowstorm of mail returned with comments indicating that a file 'drop zone .pdf' could not be opened.

  When I went to my contact list to meet some of the shippers, I found that my list of contacts it had been cleaned up with only my name remaining. This list was perhaps 200 + names and information. I've never had a security problem with apple products and I am a user since the 1980s.

  I share an Internet connection with my other significant and it has a windows 10 laptop PC. I did a complete antivirus on his device scan and found three variations of a Trojan which were immediately eliminated. I'm assuming that one of the virus/Trojan horse the culprit but it is possible t it completely deleted (not copied) my entire contact list and if so, is there a way to restore the original information? In addition, I find that most of my posts had been blurred and missing both headers

• 'all' (never) email address list has disappeared, where to and why?

  I only have the "personal" email list It used to be more available. A list of all addresses that have never received (or sent, I think) is very useful, but they disappeared!

  If there is no menu bar in the address book window, press the alt key to make it appear. If this does not work, try the F10 key. One of these two keys should be the convening of menu bar. Then select the directory to display-layout pane

• The start section of the general tab in the Options dialog box has disappeared, what gives?

  My question says it all. It USED to be there (or if not, I could not put my pages in the past), but now it isn't, and I haven't changed all the settings of Firefox.

  Thanks for the quick response. Oddly enough, this problem "disappeared" as suddenly as it appeared. Next time that I started Firefox (which was just a few minutes after I reported this), the general tab had the available selection area to set the home pages. Occurrences weird like that make me nervous, however, that things don't "just" without reason.
