I discovered one of my gmail accounts has sent random links to seemingly every address in the contact book
Not had this happen before and since I only access gmail through the web interface (no nasty Outlook auto-run emails) I wondered how this can happen? Most likely something on my PC, or some 3rd-party managing to get the password and using it? I assume I should check if my sent items actually has the emails so I can tell if my gmail account was used to send the emails or not - what other steps and tests can I perform?
Quick scans with Malware Bytes and MSE found nothing, and MSE runs realtime protection. Is it just one of those things that happens somehow?
Thanks.
