twooks Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 it seems the spammers have found a way of sending you spam from yourself - clever it claims - or some of them do at least - to have been generated by your MSN link - what will they think of next ?? >:-( *-) B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Jackie - I know just what you mean. As a precaution you might wanna run some very up-to-date anti-virus and anti-trojan software on your PC just to check that it ain't your machine that is now spitting the spam stuff out (to you and to others) It's far from unknown for that to start happening.

David Dwight Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Twooks A friend and I had this problem wse discovered that it happens when you dont log off from your e-mail provoder but just close down. They can also get into your contacts list as well then all your contacts get the same problem. One way of stopping it is to change your e-mail address, a bit of a bind but it works.

Guest peter Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Or use a web based E.Mail. They don't seem to suffer the spam like Outlook Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
