    This is when someone else uses your email address to send spam. You'll typically receive "bounce back" emails since these emails won't reach the intended recipients.

    2ndly this is when someone has gained access to your email account credentials and is using it to send emails. This is a more serious issue.

    Boot into Safe mode to run a scan with your antivirus or anti-malware software.

    Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    Thanks for your post. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is a powerful tool that finds and removes malware from your PC. Here's how to use it in Windows 10 or 11 to scan your PC.

    Important: Before you use Microsoft Defender Offline, make sure to save any open files and close apps and programs.

    1. Open your Windows Security settings.
    2. Select Virus & threat protection > Scan options.
    3. Select Microsoft Defender Antivirus (offline scan), and then select Scan now.

    The Microsoft Defender Offline scan takes several minutes to run, and then your PC will restart.

    1. Open your Windows Security settings.
    2. Select Virus & threat protection > Protection history.

    The Microsoft Defender Offline scan will automatically detect and remove or quarantine malware.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
