How to auto forward emails to another email account?

I am sending spam emails from my account? Here is the answer to the issue?

• If you are a victim of sending spam emails from your account you must go to "mail options" and then click on "vacation on the left and uncheck the box for "auto response". Somehow a spammer was able to penetrate yahoo email and add an auto response and put you on vacation.

• Answer:

  I prefer my solution, which works for mail whether there is a vacation response or not. Interesting concept, however I used technical sources and much research for my answer. 1. Check that the alternate e-mail address is still yours (Change it?), and then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make them unique and strong ones! 2. Run both an anti-virus and spyware/malware scan, separately - even more than one malware scan, or Trend Micro's Housecall for an online a-v scan. (in 'Safe Mode with Networking' is the only truly effective method - click F8 repeatedly when the screen first lights on boot-up, then arrow keys and Enter to navigate.) http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free http://www.superantispyware.com/ 3. Then delete cookies, cache and history in case the malware can 'self- reproduce' ... http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard Also, for individual browsers, see: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cookies http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Online-Activity 4. Notify all your contacts NOT to open short e-mails, especially those with no subject, and definitely not to click any links. Warn them to scan for malware too, just in case. Set up an alternate 'alias' account to use instead. This allows you to use a different address for sending, but still keep all saved mails and contacts and the first address active too for incoming mail. Your friends can trust this new address. http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias (alternate address) 5. If these spams/spoofs do not stop, you will need to set up a new account. https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?.int (new address)
