    Hi Guys I think but Im Not Sure but my email is been hacked by how can i find out if this is been done

    its an eircom.net email address and when I change the password which I do quite a lot email comes in but after about 2 days only the spam is left

    I have registered a .ie with the CRO and I am awaiting that to come back to me then I think that it will be safe as the passwords would be harder to get ahold off

    Any suggestions !!!!!!!!!!!

    Bugger all to do with Windows. Let's try Nets / Comms.

    I'd say you are downloading your email onto your computer using an email client and it is set to delete mail on server ... BUT you must have some antispam software running that is leaving suspected spam on the server and never downloading it ....

    You didn't open those Microsoft Update Emails?

    They send around the Swen virus - which I think allows people to hack your email. Anyways, "real" Update can be found here :Dhttp://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/_new.shtml
