My email account is spamming any help would be nice.

My account has been receiving hundreds of bounce notices for emails I never sent. No email is showing in my sent box, so I am wondering if there is any remedy. Password has always been strong, and I changed it immediately. Please advise, and thank you in advance.

If there are no spam messages in your Sent folder, and the spam was not sent to your contacts, then you are probably a victim of spoofing, and there isn't really anything you can do except wait for the spammer to switch to some other "From:" address. As a precaution you might run a full virus scan on the computers you use, and, if you have a wireless router check to see that it is secure.
