    Self Spammed

     
    Hello

    I get obvious spam messages that have my email address as the sender. I thought this could mean someone got the password for my email and used it sloppily to send spam to this address but after I changed my password I got another spam message today.

    Does this mean there is spyware running on my computer or are these messages not really generated by my email?

    I ran Spybot Search&Destroy and free AVG but they didn't find anything.

    Some spammer have the ability to make it look like the emails are coming from someone else in an attempt to make people click on the email links.

    I also suggests checking out Superantispyware
