Email - Spam been sent to my address book

Over the weekend it has come to my attention that my BT email address (@btinternet.com) has been sending out emails with links in to all my address book without my knowledge. These links are for a site selling viagra and other stuff. The emails seems to go out early in the morning.
I have also been receiving email in my spam folder from myself. Has anyone else experienced this and know how I can stop these emails sending as I have some pretty important people iin my address book and it would appear that I am spamming them.
I have both virus software and also antispyware software installed and i run them regular.

And turn off HTML in emails from unknown sources at the very least . Plain Text only.
Well.... Most infections actually come from friends so maybe it's wiser to just disable HTML full stop.(And NOT click on attachments unless you categorically know what that attachment is).
Is it possible to turn off HTML etc in Outlook ? It's been so long since I used it I can't remember... I'd have thought there would be a preference similar to Thunderbird. I use Evolution.....
An MSCE in computing is like having a McDonalds Certification in World Cuisine, pointless.

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts, how can I stop this activity

My email account has been hacked and my address book has been used to send unsolicitated emails to all my contacts.

First of all
Run windows in safe mode (with network) and change your password on your email account.
Then
run several anti-malware programs (there are many free ones, but not all are trustworthy)
Malwarebyte >> http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Microsoft Safety Scanner >> http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Windows Defender >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/using-defender
Spybot >> http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Kasperky >> http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan
Rootkit scanner TDSS-Killer >> http://support.kaspersky.com/5350
And when all is clean, change password for your email account again.

Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
1. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us
3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for your issue (Security questions or password)
4. Choose, No Thanks, Continue
5. Choose the best method for you for contacting Apple

Apple id email has been sent but no message

i need help
apple id email has been sent but no message
how fix this problem

Are you talking about the verification email from Apple? If so, make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. When you receive it, you need to respond by clicking the Verify Now link.
If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Emails have been sent from my iphone and they are not from me. what do I do to secure this doesn't happen again? I've already changed password

I have this problem too, it's called "spoofing" aparently.
There isn't much you can do except change your email address which is a huge problem if like me you have an Apple one and can't change it without losing your whole iTunes and App purchase history which is a billiantly stupid bit of design on Apple's part.
There's some interesting stuff here: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?132-how-to-stop-spoofed-email-addres ses
but I don't think there's much chance of applying it to iCloud but I am not an expert.

If it's not in a spam filter, you need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

I have it set up on both of mine and I know she has the app what I would have to check is if it is enable in hers, although prior to the cancellation of service she used to be able to make the calls, my concern is why I can't which is possible that it needs to be enable. Thank you!

so please if anyone got any idea of how to get the hint on the mail ( i used to remember there is a hint )

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Can anyone help? When sending an email and I add a name to the "To" box or CC/BCC box which I later decided I don't want to include, Mail ignores the instruction to "remove" that name so that once the email has been sent, the name is still included and the email goes to them anyway. Pretty frustrating and I don't understand why this is happening.

You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums.
