May 29, 2008I would like to report that an unknown to me company used my email account and my contacts’ list and send an advertising email as it was me to all of my contacts and to all that I am recieving emails (using and having access to my yahoo email). I’ve NEVER given to ANYONE my password and I’ve found it out because some emails have not been delivered and I received “delivery error” emails.
I am asking for your advise; what should I do?
Kind regards
The problem is that when I am not in my email account even when my computer is turned off the emails are being send from my yahoo email account to my contacts and to whoever have send me an email (and not from me for sure). Is it possible to be a bug that works even if my computer is off?

It sounds like you got a ‘bug.’
Check your computer and be sure it is clean of virus or other ‘bugs.’
Install a firewall and an anti-virus program.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
Changing the password of your E-mail account may not be enough to make it safe again, you may need to cancel it and open a new one with a different ID name and password.
Then make sure you never ever give out your personal information to anyone.
This should help to keep you E-mailing again safely.
