    change password to contain a number and #$!^%$ and also change security questions

    also you can try contacting the email acount via yahoo gmail ask msn note your problem

    all else fails get every contact from your email and everything you need start the new one and delete all the information from the account then delete the account

    Nothing going on here either. Maybe it's just happening in Australia.

    Pestie, I have received a lot of these emails from you and others. It's some kind of virus that someone made to attach to our email addresses. I'm sure people are getting them from at least one of my accounts. Don't worry about it as I haven't heard of any way of getting rid of it. You can always tell when you get one from someone you (think) you know. There is nothing in the subject line. I just delete them now.

    If anyone has any experience with stopping them, please let me know.

  • I just want to say that I've had a few of these emails from you, but you have not upset me at all.

    I have not see any of your advertisements.

    Don't worry people know you and they know you are good person.

    I myself don't think it will get rid of that suspicious activity because it will following your IP numbers; So, I would suggest you to change IP numbers.

    Ask your friends who know so much about computer then they might tell you what to do or they do better than my advice to you.
