How do i get an email alert sound like aol "you've got mail?

Virus or just spam from [email protected].…

  • Every time I sent a message on my old e-mail i would get a e-mail back from [email protected].… saying "failure notice...". Then people in my contacts started telling me I was sending them spam and adds which i did not know about. So I got a new yahoo e-mail address and just sent a e-mail to ever one in my old contacts telling them it (from the NEW email) and got the email from [email protected].… Again. What the hell is going on? thank you in Advance PS I have McAfee security which has been being weird lately but when i run a SCAN everything checks out.

  • Answer:

    Sounds like your E-mail account has been compromised, Chris, or you picked up a virus. 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. Also, check your account information and make sure no information was changed, if it was change it back immediately. Then, you will have to inform your contacts that it was not you sending that mail, but they need to check their computers in case they were also infected.
