Thanks John.
It’s very valuable info. I'll keep that.

I did reply but it seems not uploading properly. Here it is again:
The issue with me seems a little different.
I tried turn off my computer for a week and my fried still got email sent from my account.
I am thinking that website may have already stolen all the contacts from my hot mail account re restore in their website?
Any idea I can get rid of it?
Thanks very much
