8)Thanks for the help and have scanned with Avast and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and changed password for e mail too.
Hope this is it,as it's very maddening to say the least.

Haven't been to any new websites lately so presume it's come from an infected e mail

Once again a big thank you for your help and sound advice  :hug:

Can someone help me out here please.

In the last 2 weeks i have had a virus or hacker get into my hotmail contact list and send e mails to all-with nothing in subject box and contains a link for various things?
Yet nothing appears in my sent folder?The only way i knew e mails had been sent was by getting loads of undelivered reports?

Then this morning,after deleting most of my contacts over the weekend,the few contacts left in my folder were sent e mails,including myself, yet this time it had their/my name or just a 'Hi' in the subject box?weird goings on!

Can someone tell me how I can get this sorted and what I have to do?

This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks that this has happened and seems a bit strange all of a sudden?
Is it that I have a virus or has someone hacked into my pc and contact list?

Finally whats even weirder is that only yesterday I mentioned this to someone and told them unless it had something in the subject box don't open it as it won't be from me etc and that nothing appears in my sent folder.
Until this morning when the few left was in my sent folder and as i said before their/my name or a 'Hi' was in the subject box?
Just seems strange that for the first time,since i had mentioned it to someone,things have suddenly changed etc?

Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance and take care ::)

So very sorry to hear of tim's passing and my thoughts are with his family and friends
R.I.P. Tim

Boyzone singer Stephen Gately dies aged 33 on holiday in Majorca
Stephen Gately, the Boyzone singer, has died aged just 33 while on holiday in Majorca.

Many will be shocked to have heard the news and to those who haven't apologies for being the bearer of such tragic news.
My thoughts are with Andy,the rest of Boyzone and of course Stephen's family and friends,such a tragic loss at such a young age defies belief-R.I.P. Stephen and thank you for being you and sharing your talent with the world xxx

The Irish star was enjoying a break on the Mediterranean island with his long-term partner Andy Cowles when he died suddenly on Saturday.

The group's tour website said that he had "tragically died" and that the rest of the band would be flying out to the Spanish island on Sunday.

It is not yet known how Gately died, but it has been reported he had gone out for drinks, returned to his accommodation and gone to sleep, but never woke up.

The boy band’s manager and X Factor judge, Louis Walsh, said he was “in complete shock” from the news.

He told the News of the World: "We're all absolutely devastated.

"I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet.

"I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man."

The four remaining members of Boyzone, Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch, are due to fly to Palma, the main city of Majorca.

Lynch said: "Me and the boys are flying out in the morning. We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do."

A statement on Boyzone's official website confirmed the Irish singer's death.

It said: "Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca. The rest of the boyz will be flying out today."

Gately, who announced that he was gay in 1999, married Cowles in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006.

After Boyzone split in 2000, Gately continued his career as a solo artist, but was dropped by Polydor in 2001 after three Top 20 singles.

He enjoyed further success performing in musicals, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2003-04.

Gately also appeared in 2007 on ITV1's reality series Dancing on Ice, and was voted Hero of 1999 at the Smash Hits Poll Winners' Party.

His last message on the social networking site Twitter, posted on 6 October, said: "Still busy – lots going on. Focusing on finishing my book next so may be quiet here.”

Boyzone reformed in 2007 and announced a comeback tour last November. The band had six UK number one hits between 1994 and 2000.

Last week Gately attended the Pride of Britain Awards and the band were planning on bringing out a new album in 2010.

Scores of fans posted tributes on the singer's Facebook page on Sunday, expressing sadness and disbelief at the news of his death.

Lynda Gammon wrote: "Heaven has gained an angel. RIP Stephen, we are so shocked, our thoughts are with your family, friends and other band members."

A post by Mike Gardiner read: "This is a total shock OMG", while Joanne Bloomer wrote: "RIP Stephen. Very sad. U were a true talent!".

Sorry to see you go Jonathan and well just wanted to say  :thankyou: and to wish you well
Take care

:alarm: Maybe all politicians need this wake up call  :whistle: but honestly thanx guys   for your comments and as you say too simple …. ::).
However sometimes the simplest of solutions are those staring us in our faces and erm sometimes politicians can be looking too hard for a solution  ???, when all the time its there right in front of us
leatherbear  for a sec seeing your smiley thought I was to become the first one to get the £1m severance for early retirement :-[ now I gotta carry on
mgr awesome thought why yes wonder if you could translate it into German-maybe another eye opening but be careful as other members may want it translated into many languages too :-X

FOOD FOR THOUGHT…‏Tongue-in-cheek lol
Got this from friends and well erm just had to share it's point

Dear Mr. Darling,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy.

Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1. They MUST retire.  Twenty million job openings - Unemployment fixed

2. They MUST buy a new British car.  Twenty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed

3. They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed

4. They MUST send their kids to school/college/university - Crime rate fixed

5. They MUST buy £50 of alcohol/tobacco a week …..and there's your money back in duty/tax etc

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all Members of Parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

:urock: Wow nice idea guys  :bravo:

This is going to be fun for many me thinks and spread many bonus points around
:thankyou:
