    If anyone can help me with this i would very much appreciate it!

    Someone has been getting into my boyfriend’s comcast email. I don’t know how this person is getting his passwords but she/he forwards emails from his own account to my work and yahoo emails. The header only shows “undisclosed-recipients:XXX” and my work server. Of course, if I try to reply it would go to his email account. I tracked down the IP addresses shown in the header and they are all dynamic. Is there any way to determine where the emails are coming from? Btw no one uses the computer at home except the both of us… and of course he has been changing the passwords frequently, but it’s still happening!

    could be a virus..... i'd download spybot, adaware, avg, and other spyware/virus checkers and see what they come up with..... then after that let us know what happens and someone more advanced then myself may recommend running something else like hi-jack-this

    Hello Agapi and welcome to Major Geeks.

    I'm afraid you have posted in the wrong forum. I doubt that anyone is directly hacking into your pc. What has probably happened is that you have picked up an emailer virus ( there are several) which is picking recipients from your address book and sending mail to them. Some of these viruses contain their own mail client and don't use outlook or whatever.


    Anyway you need to head over to the malware forum and follow the procedure there.
