Frequently someone is sending a email from my account to all my contacts without my knowledge and it disappears from my email sent items. Why is this happening? The email only contains this link to a pharmacy website. What can i do to prevent this and how?

Tina,Maybe you should mind your own god damn business and just answer the god damn computer question.

1) the question was addressed via the thread to Tina thus opened the door to her response. 2) People need to stop hijacking threads and create their own new ones. 3) speaking of minding one's own business...

Will adding Norton anti spyware program keep my boyfriend from hacking into my computer after he already has gained access to my e-mail and Facebook accounts?

Mac,I think you should post a new questions.Meanwhile, change your passwords, make them difficult, don't remain logged into your accounts when you leave the computer. On your computer, create your own user account, to which your boyfriend does not have access. Although, if you share the computer and he is the administrator, that is going to be difficult. If you don't share the computer and it's yours, change the password of the administrator and create a non-admin account for your boyfriend to use. Otherwise get your own computer. But maybe you JUST need to talk to your boyfriend and find out why he doesn't trust you and cannot respect your privacy. What are you doing to make him so suspicious? What's going wrong in your relationship?

How did you come to know about it?

Hello,First scan your computer for keylogger, spyware etc. by using software like ad-aware. After that, log on to your email account, and change password, security question & answer, your date of birth and alternate email ID. In your browser, clean your cache files & temporary files.You may be victim of hacking via keylogger or getting password from cache. Hope it will help you.

1. Change Your Password2. If using a desktop client (Outlook), scan your computer for viruses etc3. You may be involved in a phishing attack. Meaning someone is using your email address to send emails - it is very easy to do. To check this is happening, check the full email headers to see what computer the email is coming from.4 . How do you know people are sending emails from your email address? Have your contacts said something or are you getting them yourself?

Rumaiz,is this an online eMail account? Please specify which software or online service are you using?Once you suspect your account is being hacked, you should quickly change your passwords. This may be sufficient to stop the hacker from using your account again, at least temporarily.What you describe, however, sounds more like you're dealing with malware. Did you scan your computer for viruses, trojans, worms, and adware?

Hey Tina, I was wondering if you might be able to help me. My hotmail account has been hacked. I can't reset my password, and windows live support isn't helping either. Do you know a number, or a website where I can speak to some1 from windows live? The thing is I know who hacked it, I dont know how he done it. But I can't reset my password, my secret answer won't work, and the account I would normaly have a temporary password to is the guy who hacked it. I even no around what time he would've hacked it, he's an ex of mine I no longer have contact with. Crazy I know! But I'm desperate! I used the account I'm trying to recover to set up my facebook account, and so all my msgs and notifications receive on my facebook get directed to that account I can no longer access. Please Tina if there is anything you think I can do I would appreciate it so much!!!
