my email has been hijacked by botnet
I am receiving maeler daemons for emails I did not send.All have an attachment-there seems to be 2 different attachments.1 is a link the other a download.Majority of these are returns from emails supposedly sent to yahoo accounts,however the target email is actualy either gmail or hotmail.i.e. the real account is john@hotmail but the returned is john@yahooSeems obvious to me that my pc is hijacked.However,all seem to be in my hotmail account,not my many gmail accounts.At least this practice of alternating actual adresss with variations-swapping@hotmail to @yahoo etc is not generating mailer daemons in my other accounts.other than malwarebytes,is there a cleaner that can get this thing out of my hotmail? 1 person needs an answerI do too

The problem probably isn't on your computer. Someone has broken into your Hotmail account. Change your password immediately.
