Help!! my email has gone mad
« on: November 05, 2009, 04:41:38 PM »
I have just received lots of returned emails from addresses I haven't written to. This happened a couple of weeks ago where I seemingly wrote to everyone in my address book (which saves anyone I've ever emailed) telling them about a great new television. Today it's happened again, I've copied and pasted the following which was the mail text :
 How are you recently?
    I bought a laptop from a website:?? www.buy-tv.net last week. I have got=
     the product. Its quality is very good and the price is competitive. They=
     also sell phones, TV, psp, motor and so on. By the way, they import produ=
    ct from Korea and sell new and original products. They have good reputatio=
    n and have many good feedbacks. If you need these products, look at this=
     website will be a clever choice. I am sure you will get many surprise and=
     benefits.
    Greetings!

Any ideas how I stop this??? It's most worrying that they have my contacts and that people may think I'm actually sending this stuff. Any help gratefully received!!!!

Sounds like you have a virus.

Do a full virus/anti spyware check and see what comes up.

Change your password, that should stop it.
