Hi, I have protection via Webroot. But I keep running into a problem. Someone keeps hacking into my Microsoft Outlook email and sending spam emails. What do I have to do to protect my email account? Get a spam protection from my Internet provider?
I have had to change my password on that account over ten times in the last four months. It is getting very upsetting to do. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
+62Hello ?,
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
Emails aren't scanned by Webroot, but as soon as you try to run a malicious attachment WSA would block the execution and protect your PC. Also if you would click on a link in an email the URL will be scanned against the cloud database.
You have to keep in mind that WSA works a bit different than other antivirus solutions; instead of scanning everything all the time and wasting hardware resources, Webroot tries to intelligently protect your PC against threats.
You could try this amd select the spam email, right-click, choose Junk from the drop menu, and click Block Sender. Or, Select Home > Junk > Block Sender. Outlook marks it and relocates it immediately. Use Block Sender frequently to automatically add the senders to Junk Email folde

Hope this helps?
