Stop Spam Tips

My email account must have been hacked into and it is sending spam emails to people on my contacts list. How do I stop this from happening?

My hotmail account is being flooded with emails, from Red driving lessons, bingoonthebox etc. Each email address has a different thing like getreadytocamp.egek3j.co.uk (made that one up by the way) what can i do to block them ALL? yeah but the thing is 2 hours later my inbox has 69 of them

I go to my spam box and I find Viagra emails from my email address. How can I stop this? And how do I stop it?

ive had 250 emails from 3 different spam people in one day. how do i block these people or stop getting these emails? thanks i use hotmail.

I haven't used my email for a week and i came to check it today and i've had 81 emails from pure spam! Same email over and over, protected loan stuff (its not important i have not asked for anything to do with a loan) , how do i get rid of them coming without just deleting them?! i delete 5 of them and 10minutes later theres 10 more? :S they wont stop!

I've been getting texts from people telling me my hotmail email address is spamming them with viruses. I checked my sent messages and sure enough there's a whole mess of spam going out to people! I never even use this email address. I don't even use it to sign up for anything. So i'm pretty confused as to why this is happening now. How can I make this stop?

Okay, so I've been receiving a lot (and I mean a lot) of spam email lately. Usually it's just a handful of them, but lately it's been getting really out of hand. I haven't put my email address on forms recently so I don't know what's causing it to flood in the way it is now. For example, when I turned my PC off at 11:30 PM last night I had an empty inbox, I switched it back on about 12 noon today, and waiting for me was 68 emails sent over a period of 12 hours, 67 of which were spam. Since sending them to the junk folder I've had a further 7 or 8 emails. Anyone know how to stop them coming in without having to change my email address? I use Hotmail by the way. Forgot to put that in.

OK, I use Outlook Express and it has started sending spam emails to people in my contacts. It's inviting them to go to dubious websites and, even more worryingly, I don't even have to be logged on for this to happen. I've changed my computers domain password, changed my email password, have changed my email settings so a password has to be entered for email to be sent and I've also given my pc a full AVG and SpyBot scan. Nothing is showing up in the scans but these emails are still being sent. What do I need to do?

These are emails that use to come to my regular email address, is now going to my spam box, how do I stop this.

EVERY time I sign on to read my email there are always two chat requests waiting for me from people I do not know and do not want to know. I have my spam settings so that "only people in my contacts list can send me a chat" but apparently they have figured out a way around that! I also have my chat preference listed as "invisible" but i continue to get the requests each time I sign in to my mail. This is getting VERY irritating and I'm about ready to scream! Can anyone help me? I've emailed yahoo over a week ago and they only thing I received from them was a letter saying they were backed up and someone would answer my question soon. That hasn't happened and this problem is very annoying! Thanks for any suggestions you can offer! Just to reiterate, I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO THE OPTIONS/SPAM AREA AND BLOCKED ANYONE WHO IS NOT ON MY CONTACTS LIST. THESE REQUESTS ARE STILL SHOWING UP.
