Title: Feel like I broke NC
Post by: VistaView on October 13, 2014, 12:44:28 AM
Hello All

I have been strict NC from my BPDx since July but found out last night someone sent spam to every email address in my PC. I have sent emails to her when we were together so I am almost sure she got one too. I don't want her to think that I am looking for a lame excuse to contact her by sending a fake email ( I didn't send it ). It bothers me that my NC has possibly been compromised. So far I have not heard from her but I am feeling some anxiety that she may get the impression that I am starting to weaken from NC, this could not be further from the truth. Any advice?

Is your ex on your address book?

You have a computer virus one that attaches itself to your address book and is sending through SMTP ( Send Mail Transfer Protocol ) to your contacts.

Scan your computer with your anti-virus program. You didn't break NC, viruses are a part of technology. Be careful or whomever in your household when you download programs, click on pop-ups on websites or open ANY executable programs in your e-mails.  I hope that helps.

Yes ... She is in my address book which is why I worry she was sent spam from my email acct. I just don't want her thinking I'm looking for a 're engagement of any type.

If she contacts you, simply say I may of had a virus that sent it. I hope you didn't open an attachment, but I'd recommend that you scan your computer just to be safe. Sorry.

It's spamming because you have a virus. Check to make sure your system is clean. If you don't check, you're computer is going to keep sending messages.

When a computer behaves abnormally ( sending spam ) that's because there's a program somewhere that's doing something it shouldn't  - a virus.
