HOTMAIL hacked into - Free viagra anyone?

[SuSylvester]

how do i get whoever is using my hotmail to email old coleague dodgy drugs?
is not primary email account
dh asleep/ill
want to sort myself

No idea but would think this happens a lot? Have you googled for help?

As an aside, can I ask how your new gigantic washing machine is doing? Am just about to order a new one and thinking of Bosch - I know they have a good rep but thinking they are not so good anymore.... my Bosch dishwasher needed repairing after a couple of years whereas the original one I had was going strong after 8 and went to a new home so may still be working!

hi dc
its great but oddly no 1000 spin on it
its 1400 or 1200 or then a leap to 800
that annoys me

That probably wouldn't bother me - in my current one although you can adjust the spin in theory it doesn't seem to actually work with any of the normal programmes!

If you change your password on hotmail it usually works. I had this a few months ago, had to apologise profusely for offering said dodgy websites to all and sundry lol! Mind you several people didn't mention it which makes me wonder what their opinion of me was in the first place ?

tis endemic
change password to somethign copmplex and email hotmail hq a copy of the sent messgae

It may not actually be being sent from your hotmail account. It's incredibly easy to fake who an email is marked as being sent from, there's no security or guarantee that the "from" address is genuine.

So some spammer might just be using your email address to make it look like the spam email is genuine.

However if you're using any version of Windows then make sure that your anti-virus is up to date and check for any "bad" software that could be spying on you using something like www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Also change your password anyway just to make sure that people aren't hacking in.

thanks everyone
