Unwanted e-mails are sent from my Hotmail account
Someone invades my hotmail contacts and sending Viagra ads.
I downloaded the scan and it found nothing.
How can I stop this.
Microsoft will make excuses to my contacts?

Mail and Hotmail contacts are not stored on your computer, but to your account on the servers. In this case, running a malware scan on your own PC would not find the problem. Have you tried to change your hotmail account password?

My hotmail is infected with something. Messages are sent from my email address.
original title: virus hotmail
My hotmail is infected with something. Messages are sent from my email address. I use Microsoft Security and McAffe and Windows security. I think that the rest of my computer is infected. It takes forever to get on the internet. My programs close completely so when I start my computer once again, they are here. All these programs do not address the problem.
Assuming you follow my suggestion...
According to one that you have decided to keep, Microsoft Security Essentials or McAfee, use the one you keep to run a full scan.
Then, run the Malwarebytes to make sure that no infection is left not detected.
If Yes, then it is time to perform the following operations :|Go to Windows Live Solution Center...

Mac Mail continues to request password Hotmail account
Recently my Mac Mail were continually asked my hotmail account password. When I enter it I get a message that it cannot verify the user and the password. The pop3 account was changed to popmail.outlook.com on the Mac. Worked until about 2 weeks ago.
I was not able to put in place than others, IMAP or Exchange Outlook. If you try to use "Other E-mail", it may not always check the password. It still works on the iphone 4, so I know that the password is fine. I can access in the browser if the account is fine too.
I deleted VPN and firewall but no luck. I deleted all the old password Keychain for 'hotmail' and 'live', just in case.
I don't want to lose all of my old emails that they are located in several folders work with other emails from other servers... Can't risk to delete and re-add this account. I have years of important emails. I realize I could use time machine to retrieve messages, but it is painful and slow.
Anyone got working under the latest Mac OS X (el Cap) Mac Mail from Hotmail? What are the settings you are using please?
Hello Lexxiconn,
Welcome to Apple Support communities.
As I understand it, there is a problem with the Mail on your Mac application, constantly asking the password for your Hotmail e-mail account. The article below describes a similar problem and provides general troubleshooting tips that should help you to solve the problem.

fraudelent emails sent from my live account
emails are sent from my address to my contacts in windows live. My essential anti virus had been turned off and wouldn't start up again. I installed norton and it shows no problem, but they are always sent?

Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails. I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.
How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you
These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).
You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping. The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account). -
Help! Whenever I send an email from my Hotmail account I get a message that the WebKit2WebProcess, exe has stopped working and the program closes and opens again, then - why? Maybe what I need to do, it is to disable and depend on my protection to protect my computer from viruses. In one, even if this is very frustrating!
