Email address keep sending out random emails to my contacts?

I appear to be sending everyone in my address book random emails from my yahoo email account? Help?

  • Hi, Im not sure if its a virus on my computer, maybe a virus or something on my iphone or something wrong with my email address but i appear to be sending everyone in my address book random emails. The last one according to my dad was about building products but the others are just random links and other stuff. I had no idea about these emails until my dad told me and i recieved a text from one of my old teachers asking me about the emails. I hope someone can help me with this and what i can do to stop it. Many thanks, Steve

  • Answer:

    Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in%E2%80%A6 for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.
