Hi Guys,

Have a weird thing happenig. Hotmail sends an e-mail to my whole address book with nothing in the e-mail. I have scanned for any bugs, but don't seem to have any.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks Simon

They're scams, just delete them, and clear the deleted box as well.

No Scruff, you don't understand mate, without any intervention from me, my whole address book is e-mailed by itself ?

S

Are you saying it sent an email to everyone in your address book

Yes mate, hotmail independantly decides to fire off a blank e-mail to all my friends and colleagues, half the time I don't know it unless they appear in my drafts box.

S

See what the guys say when they log on, but sounds like a virus to me

Quite interesting Simon, I run a google check and it's quite common with Hotmail.

Face book is suspected, of having a link to the problem.

Hi Scruff,

Like the guy in the article, but mine was just a blank e-mail, has happend about 5 times now. I don't have a facebook acc, but my misses does on the same PC.

Weird!

Your computer as been hacked and you need to change the passwords immediately to something more secure.

As the guy said make up a sentence like, "MyaddressisNo61BraysdownLane", that contains caps and numbers.

Or better still ditch the Hotmail, it clearly isn't secure, and therefore unsafe.

Good thinking Scruff!

Cheers m8.

Simon
