My email has been hacked and im having problems closing it.

If anyone has my email can they put a block on it please as im worried people might get emails that i did not send and since i cant seem to close it down as a precaution putting on block on it is the only way i can think of that might stop people getting rubbish supposedly from me if that is what the hacker intends on doing.

If anyone wants my new email just PM me.

Hi Gibbo, Sandy,

Sorry to hear mate. What type of email.are you using?
What email program are you using and on what platform?

You say you cannot close it? Why?
Tried CTL - ALT - Delete (windows) to close app.

Why do you think you are hacked?
Are you not running an anti-vivisectionists program?

Also you will need to change your email on here mate!👌
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Dave,

Cant close the email account as in i want to cancel it as i wont be using it anymore. I have managed to change the password for the email tho.

Yep changed email on here yesterday :biggrin:

I took it to a computer tech to "clean it up" and they rang this afternoon and asked how old the laptop was, told them 8 years. Its not worth spending money on as apparently the hard drive will only last a couple more weeks or a month or so if im lucky.
