You are exposing your email to spammers. I am also not willing to expose mine to potential spammers either - kinda makes no sense to ask for help via email when your computer is spamming others due to infection. :
If you do not want to receive help via this forum, then don’t ask for support here.
sorry about that i didn’t know as bit new to computers OK
Check you computer for malware with this
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
Always Update so you have latest database before you scan
Click the remove selected button to quarantine anything found
Post the scan log here
I don’t know what your Mail Shield sensitivity settings are, but I would suggest bumping it up to High as that should detect multiple identical emails in a time period.
It is also a little strange to see a spambot actually using your installed email client, normally they have their own very small SMTP function. Perhaps to get it through your firewall (which is ?) as that has permission.
I don’t know what your settings are or if this is even possible in Outlook, but I would see you can stop automated sending of email.
