A few people I know, who were on my contacts list, have been getting this sort of email from my old Yahoo account. This account was closed by Yahoo quite a while ago as I had not used it for over a year.
I'm guessing that my information has been obtained via Yahoo and not my pc as I have never tried to use that email account on this pc. As the account is closed I cannot change the password - is there anything else I should do?
My pc is as protected as it can be using all the advice on here and MB scan shows nothing.0
