Hotmail problems

[mikey4444]

I'm sure somebody can answer this for me. I have three friends who have hotmail e-mail accounts, ie [e-mail].

But I am receiving loads of emails from them, enticing me to buy products that would help me with me with my erectile difficulties.

(I'm not how they KNOW that I have erectile problems, but that is by the by !)

Of course these emails are not coming from them, so I guess there must be a virus somewhere. But is it a problem with my PC or thiers ?

I regularly update my anti-virus software. Also hotmail accounts are the only ones that seem to be affected.

I have had issues like this with yahoo email accounts and have asked Yahoo about them. Yahoo have told me that it is not an issue with either my PC or my friends but with Yahoo themselves. It seems what happens is that your contacts list are hijacked and sent emails that seem to come from you. Apparently the only way to solve the issue is to either change your email address or delete your contact list.

Just contact the people that you're receiving the mails from and tell them to change their password on their accounts.
