Hi everyone on AB. You were all so helpfull with my last computer problem, I really hope you may be able to help me again!!
My email address is sending all my contacts emails (5/6 everyday) mostly about selling Viagra!!
I have done a virus scan on my computer and it has come back as no threats. Also some of these mails are being sent at 3 in the morning when my computer is off..
I have changed my yahoo password and added a photo to my log in page, but this doesnt seem to help!!
Any ideas TIA x

You don't have a virus. A spammer has your email address and is pretending to be you.
Anyone can pretend to be anyone else they choose when sending emails.

squarebear, yes, but if it's just people in her contacts list getting them, does that suggest the account had been hacked? It happened to me once; I changed the password and it hasn't happened again.
Ah true. Do these messages appear in your sent items?
