Unauthorized usage of my email account.
I have a problem. Somebody is sending unauthorized emails to my various email contacts (at least six that I am aware of) with an attached "Zip" file THROUGH my Hotmail account. These emails appear to be sent by me with no Subject line. I HAVE NOT sent my contacts any of these emails. My contacts think that I have acquired some type of virus. I, myself, have also received this same mysterious email. I always delete it because I didn't know who sent it, but I had NO IDEA that someone was using my Hotmail account to send emails to my contacts. On various occasions, I will also access my Hotmail account through the computers at our local public library.
Are there any recommendations for Antivirus detection and repair software? Are there any recommendations to correct this problem?
My system is an AMD K6-III cpu @ 333Mhz, 512 Mb Ram, 6 Gb hard disk, running Ubuntu 8.04. Ubuntu is my only operating system and I always downloaded the various upgrades suggested by Ubuntu.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. Stephen Smith.
