*COMPLETED* e.mail address has been hi-jacked

[Jamjar]

Let's hope you didn't get their emails to your outlook account because if they are now in the loop, then so would you be?

Are you using IE6?

There are other's on the net having the same problem, same message, using Windows Live/Hotmail.

A person who replies says put in an address and then click. Never do this as you don't know if the writer is a spammer.

Thanks Jamjar,

Well I've emailed Yahoo and also changed my password.
Hopefully they'll get back to me soon.
My documents/pictures file has frozen too- with ALL my family history stuff on.

Do you mean on your computer?

What anti-virus progam are you running?

I've been reading up on the Yahoo problem and it's been going on for years. One person said they found their address book in their Trash folder - named Contacts -  and were able to restore it. Have you had a look in there.

Suey- sorry to have 'hijacked' your thread 

Jamjar - thanks for your help. Sadly my email addresses are not in my Spam folder- the whole bl**dy lot have vanished 

Carol

[Jamjar]

Not at all. 

No, not the Spam folder, the Trash folder.
