Re: objects_for_Sims2 OT Junk Mail - THIS is not Junk Mail, its a query about it

Thank you all for your advice.  I have virus protection and firewalls and spybot stuff.  I have changed my password several times, and just deleted everyone from my address book except family.

 

I had many people in my address book and no-one told me they were getting junkmail from me.  Having asked here, no-one of you who i had in my address book has told me that you have received any from me.  I was worried that that was what was happening since i'm getting junkmail, seemingly FROM me, but maybe not?

 

Even so, i'll check out the link Su-Sim, thank you.

Sounds like you've picked up a virus or worse. Run a virus scan.
You need to install and run a good anti-virus/malware and use an ad block. In fact I would use several of the free anti virus downloads you can get, some seem to catch what others don't. I also use "spybot search & destroy" also free.
You may want to warn your friends. Any of the mail sent using your address could be infected.

I sim, therefore I am.

Ok, i seem to be sending junkmail to myself??????  I'm in my own addressbook so i can BCC the other names if i mass-send out a joke.

 

So my question is... has anyone received junkmail from me??? and if you have... how the hell did this happen?  It means someone has hijacked my addressbook, obviously, but i don't know how or how to stop it.  Please let me know, and i stress its not coming from "me" but some weird hijack thing.  Nevertheless, if it is happening, i apologise.
