Hi all,
Quick question that may be obvious but I'm not exactly technologically brilliant! I checked a hotmail account of mine and found dozens of "recipient not found" type emails. Upon investigation, it seems that 3 spam emails were sent from my hotmail account on Wednesday 25th June to loads of people, mainly .fr domains.
I thought that webmail systems could not get computer viruses - is that right? Should I be worried i.e. is there any chance of problems on my computer? I use AVG and Zonealarm as security.
Any pointers as to how to follow this up (tech forums?) would be appreciated. I guess a change of password on the account is a minimum? Any thing else I can do or should I not worry?
Cheers,
bobjim
