鈾OTE:-It could also be that a Spammer might be spoofing your address.





# By changing certain properties of the e-mail, such as the From, Return-Path and Reply-To fields (which can be found in the message header), ill-intentioned users can make the e-mail appear to be from someone other than the actual sender. It is often associated with website spoofing which mimics an actual, well known website but are run by another party either with fraudulent intentions or as a means of criticism of the organization's activities.( http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/email_spoo鈥?/a> )How can i stop someone from using my email address to send out false letters all over the world.?
Sounds like you picked up a virus.


Immediately have your computer checked for a 'bug' or 'bugs.'


Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet.


I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.


After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one.
