E-mail problem
I consider myself reasonably computer literate but the intricacies of e-mail and the internet have never been absorbed by my cell.
It seems my address book has been compromised and I am sending links to money making schemes. They are in the form of a link to a web site.
About 40, seemingly random, addressees are being graced with these offers. The link scans, with Avast, virus free. My computer scans Virus free. Malwarebites found no problems.
My machine has four e-mail clients loaded, Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird. Thunderbird is what I use the others are never opened.
My e-mail is either BTYahoo or G mail and the mails seem to originate from my BTYahoo address.
This means that I have a possibility of six sent items folders none of which show any activity.
It's Windows XP media, Thunderbird and BTYahoo that is my normal configuration. G mail is used for incomings and mail from there is forwarded to my BT account.
This irritant needs to be got rid of but I have no idea how. Help please
