Someone took my contact list, sent email from a Canadian medical supply to all. What now?
Mary Lou B asked:
Some of the contacts sent me emails asking why I sent this, I tried to send out a bulk email telling that I DID NOT send this email. My email was not sent so I tried a smaller quantity of contacts for an apology. Now some of my friends and relatives are getting their emails to ‘me’ returned to them noted my email is a demon email. Anyway, what is this ‘demon email’ memo? Help!

It can be a hacker who you might have given your information of your yahoo acct. Mami

Sounds like you picked up a virus, Mary Lou.
Immediately have your computer checked for a ‘bug’ or ‘bugs.’ If you have the proper programs, do the scans yourself, if not you need to take your computer to some one who can.
Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one.
Then you have to inform all of your contacts that you did not send them those mails, the virus did, and that they need to check their computers for infection, too Lyn G

I’m sorry I don’t have an answer, but the same thing just happened to me! Nine contacts from my yahoo email account were sent an email from me with a link to a Canadian medical page (Canadian Health & Care Mall). I’m off to change my password and scan my pc for viruses and malware. TMP
