How do I stop someone from using my email address for fake emails?
-
Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy is sending emails that use my email address as the sender. I looked them up on the internet and found that they have been doing this to other people for a long time. I have changed my password but don't know if this will help. From what I have been able to read about this, it seems that they may have hacked Yahoo! email services. I hope this can be stopped. I have forwarded the original header to [email protected]. What else should I do?

If changing your password did not work, you probably have malware on your computer -- read Yahoo's article about this http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD_MSNG&page=content&id=SLN2159&actp=lorax&locale=en_US You need to do the following 1 - run full scans for viruses, malware and spyware. A virus scan alone is not enough. You need to run an anti-malware program like Malwarebytes which can be downloaded for free if you don't have it. Then delete all infected files 2 - after running the scan, delete your browsing history and cookies and empty your cache 3 - restart your computer This normally stops it
