Yahoo messenger sending spam messages

Asked By naedla 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/20/2011

Several days ago, a friend of mine said that I just sent out a spam message to him. I discovered that my Yahoo Messenger has been sending spam messages on its own. I already uninstalled and re-installed my Yahoo Messenger yet it is still sending spam messages.

Yahoo messenger sending spam messages

There are two possibilities why your Yahoo Messenger are sending out spam messages:

First, it must be your Yahoo Messenger account is already in the hands of some intruders and he/she uses your account with Yahoo Messenger Spam Sender Software.

In regards with this, change your password immediately.

Second, your computer or laptop was infected by a malware that has an ability to send spam messages and send messages every time you're going to go online.

Solutions: scan your PC with your antivirus, download anti-malware and change your password again.

With this steps, you can now enjoy spam free Yahoo Messenger account.

Hope this will help.
