Question

Email is being sent from my Mac to my contacts without me doing it. Do I have a virus? How do I stop it?

Answer 1

Although it is unlikely to get a virus on a Mac, it is not impossible. I recommend you to use monitoring and control software for your Internet and network activity, such as NetMine. If you are being hacked, it is a good idea to change your password, before somebody else does that.

Answer 2

your account may have been hacked by someone i would sent a message to everyone that are in your contacts and let then know that you account may have been hacked into you also might need to set up a new profile and then delete the hacked one
