Spam Emails from @live.com - Anyone Else?

Bunnie

Dont know if this is the right place for this but is internet related.

Just today i started getting alot of spam mail. And i mean ALOT.

It all comes from @live.com addresses and sender appears as a name ie 'Joe Blogs'.

Its getting quite frustrating. Get 7 emails at a time from 1 persons and then 7 5 mins later form another. All advertising 'hot new movies' and the likes.

I dont know how they suddenly got my address but i cant find any info on the emails about the sender other than from 'Joe Blogs' and google is no help.

Has anyone else come accross this problem? Or know who/what company it is?

Thanks

the @live.com addresses are probably not genuine - its not difficult to send email from anyone's email account (well, give the impression of doing so anyway)

the only way to stop it, is to either use your ISP's or providers SPAM settings, and mark all those emails as SPAM, and then maybe you will see a decrease. that or install some SPAM software that will help filter it out for yo

probably someone you know's PC is infected . you are in their address book and it is spamming everyone in their address book
