    I've been getting a few messages from friends saying I'm sending out links to various shopping sites on mass e-mails. The appear to be sent in blocks of addresses corresponding to my 'collected addresses' on Thunderbird.

    I log 1 Yahoo e-mail address on POP server and 2 further Yahoo e-mail addresses on IMAP server.

    I'm suspecting this is either Malware on my PC or a hack on Yahoo servers. My PC is Win7 self build, 3 months old.

    Is it worth posting Malware Logs?

    It's the only way to know if you have infections. Many time email relate issues are not due to malware but this is not a 100% certainty. ;)

    Logs attached. I'm stupid, I enabled UAC again after gathering all logs.
    I only found TDS Killer log by chance, it was saved in C: Drive not Desktop.

    That is where the READ & RUN ME procedure told you to look. ;)


    Your logs are clean.

    Thank you. I'll read instructions better next time.
    I'll change my Yahoo passwords again, presuming the hack is coming from their servers.

    You're welcome. And be careful what PCs you use to login to your email. Like using another persons PC, a library PC, a schools PC....etc. Also stay away from free wifi access networks.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    The e-mail hack thing has come back, but I'm presuming this isn't a problem caused by my PC.
    I only use my Yahoo e-mail accounts on my PC (Thunderbird - Win 7) or on my Android mobile phone. Could this e-mail hack come from mobile phone?

    Attached is cropped screen shot of one of the hack e-mails from one of my accounts to another.

    I wouldn't know for sure. In a few weeks of elapsed time, your PC could have changed a lot.

    You never ever (even once) logged into your email from another persons PC or using your PC on a wireless network that is not your own?

    Also did you ever login to your email account from your own PC while you were using one of the other user accounts on your PC? I see 4 other user accounts not including the Administrator and Guest accounts which would make 6. And you need to disable this Guest user account!!!!!


    It's possible. More and more phone hacks are occurring.
