    Question Hotmail

    Hi all.
    I have not been on site for a long while because i have not had any problems with me comp.
    until now
    I been haveing bother with hotmail, its sending out emails without my or wifes knowledge.
    The emails its been sending was first of all from all of are address book so we changed that and just today we had 44 no reply mails from the postmaster. I checked on one and its all foreign and the odd word is on about xmas. Are first thought was a virus on the hotmail site as we are idle and use the auto sign in but after the fist batch of unautherized emails went out we changed that so that we have to put the password in ourselfs.
    Could any of you clever people help me out? to stop this? as i dont want to get in trouble with anyone cos some jerk as got too much time on there hands.
    Thanks for reading and any help offered.
    steven.

    Are you both working from the same Hotmail account with the same password or different accounts on the same computer?

    Are you running any other email software on your computer? If you are, is there a problem with it also?

    In the meantime download and run ATFCleaner.exe by Atribune. When you access the link given, please read the instructions for your particular browser.

    If ATFCleaner.exe does not help, I would suggest posting a HJT log here to have your system checked for Malware by our experts.

    kind regards,
