Ummm I guess you have some kinky exboyfriend if he's sending you that kind of messages.



Anyway, you should check your computer for all malware (including spyware, of course). There's a complete tool for doing this at http://www.infectedornot.com



The site is part of a new campaign from Panda Software to raise awareness on the malware problem. They let you use their Panda Nano Scan and Panda Total Scan tools for free, and in exchange, they collect statistics that are presented in that same web site.



With these tools you can be pretty sure that you will check your pc for every malware form there is. These tools haven't even been released to the public yet, and they have more virus definitions than anything else out there.

This is probably not a Hotmail issue, but a virus/malware/trojan issue on your PC.



To check this, go on your mail account through ANOTHER PC and check if it does it. Normally, it should not...



Scan your PC for spyware and try again. If it does not work, you may have to reinstall your PC.



Also, remember to change your Hotmail password once in a while...

If there's a way in hotmail to change your password, try that. If not, then just get another account. I'm assuming you've checked for spyware.

This is going to show you, which you like your life might desire to be extra interesting. detect a extra useful pastime. How might you experience in case you have been speaking with somebody you enjoyed, and somebody you didnt comprehend, grow to be analyzing your mail and staring at your %.? pass on, get a life. Btw, its no longer reported as hacking, if somebody offered you a working laptop or computing device, and didnt get rid of the password keeper from there website. actual hacker might'nt submit such nonsense.

I just recently tried https://tr.im/mt65s last month to see if I could track down my birth-parent. My bio father left me when I was 8, and has refused to contact me since. I grew up with my biological Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological dad a couple times till recently. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his full name, and the state of a previous address he used to have.

When the results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a current address even his phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my bio father) was present, and he said no but to try back after 7.

I haven't done anything with the info since, But yeah I found what I was interested in.

Lately when I've received spam e-mails, I view the 'Full Headers', copy the IP address the message came from, paste it into the search at http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp before selecting the IP address Whois search, then I forard the e-mail message to the e-mail contacts listed (usually one, sometimes two e-mail addresses are there) where I also copy and paste the headers of the message including the IP address and let them know that I have received spam from the IP address at their server.



The more frequently people do this, the more likely I think we are to solving the problem.



I wouldn't conclude automatically that your boyfriend is a spammer. He, like anyone who knows your e-mail address, may submit your e-mail address to any websites that request a valid one in order to get your e-mail address added to a molesting spam list. An ex-b/f doesn't need to be the only person to do that; your e-mail could be targeted on your friend's address books as mine was when I received a virus that exploited all of my contacts and made it look like I e-mailed them a David Copperfield 'magic_trick.pps.exe' file that I didn't send at all (it didn't appear in my Sent Items, but I found out about it because someof the messages got returned to me!).



Good luck!

Check for spyware and then change your password or start a new account or just contact hotmail about it.
