Anyone know? (11)
Hidden_PrinceGrand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland Canada9 Threads 63 PostsI am having problems with my email i use hotmail. I change my password often and i always have strong password i have to write it down just so i don't forget it. hehe Messages from my account are being sent to a girl i know and bad ones. I can't see this person getting into my account. I was wondering if there is a way a person can make it seem like it come from my email even though it didn't. If anyone had any information on this i would appreciate it.
Sorry can't help you out. But its a whole new world. I'm sure as soon as we sign on line, theres all kinds of people who can come in and see all our info.
as far as l know the only way someone can do that is by going onto your email account. But l do know that if you have xp you can get onto someone elses computer and have control to fix or do things to their comp but you have to have given them permission to do that...they just cant do it on there own.
Other than that l know of no other way to take control.
Hope this helps...l have had the same thing happen to me last year, still havent figured out how it happens....

All it takes is one bored person and a hackers guide. In most messages your IP address can be found hidden in the background. Get rid of this account even if you are changing passwords they obviously can still get in. 
hidden prince, do a search on CS for the professor- ask him- he's a wiz!
Maybe they have spyware running on your computer. There's free spyware protection at Trojan Slayer on you Google. It'll run for 30 days before they start asking for money.
you can get Spybot Search & Destroy from download.com for free too - no charge for it ever
Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond i will try some of your suggestions. If anyone else has a suggestion it would be appreciated.
That kind of thing is definitely possible. They aren't getting access to your account though. I edited a magazine called Audyssey and some complete idiot decided to screw things up for me. One weekend while I was away, h or she sent a message to my list of more enthusiastic readers saying that I was shutting down the magazine and list. I of course had no such intentions but it created quite a rumpus until people figured out that the headers on the emails were wrong. Look at the headers of these messages that aparently come from you. I'd bet something similar is happening. I never had the problem again but I'm not entirely certain what happened. I had some very loyal and knowledgeable readers who may have taken steps against whoever wrote the didisruptive messsage. On the other hand, the guilty person might imply have decided not t cause further problems. Good luck in dealingwith this. I wish I could be more helpul.

One way that others can acces ur account is something we don't always think about. If you recieve a forwarded email from a contact and don't erase the previous emailer's addys before u forward it wherever it may end up gives someone a list of others addys,called 'hoarding emails'.
