[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1681203"] What evidence do you have that your mail program on her computer -- as opposed to her email account with her provider -- is sending these emails out? What's much more likely is that her email account with her provider got hacked due to a simple password. So, step one is to determine where these spam emails are ACTUALLY coming from. It's quite possible they're not from her at all, but a virus on a friends PC that is sending out spoofed emails with her address seemingly on them. If there's any evidence that they are being sent out from her actual email account from her provider, step two would be to change the account password. [/QUOTE]
