Jimfanciesthedude 25,637 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 im sure many of you have had emails sent from people on your contact list, all the mail contains is a link to a viagra websitenow im not daft and have never opened the link, just deleted the mail right away, well the otherday i noticed that my hotmail account and my missus hotmail account both sent out the same shite to all of our contacts, but i havent a clue how we got the virus, so my question is, is the virus on our actual computer or in our hotmail accounts themselves?i tried scanning my system with Super AntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, and avast, but nothing came up, apart from the usual tracking cookiesso whats next?

Lynn 135 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Think it's just your hotmail.Same happened to me a few months ago. Sent out some random email about vibrators (swear it wasn't me! ) and deleted all my contacts. I looked it up and it just said it's someone hacked your hotmail to send their pishy emails and to change your password. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 thats right buying a mac stops your hotmail account being hacked which is a web based app and also Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyspeake 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If all those scans you done came back clean and your computer is not showing any symptoms of infection then its probably just the Hotmail Account. You are being used by a "Bot" to send shit out. Just change your password and that should hopefully deal with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply change your password and it wont do it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
