About a year ago, i joined a dating site (Dont laugh), it was spyware/ adware free but in June this year, a hacker broke into thier system and stole email addresses and passwords. As my details were still on their database, i was advised to change my passwords on any other sites which i did.
I am now getting spoof emails pretending to be from the site and other emails containing attachments from strange email adresses. I DELETE the messages immediately and block the sender but then i get more of the same emails from different email addresses.
Is the only way out to change my email address or do you think it will stop eventually?Sorry forgot to add, running win xp, with zone alarm firewall, AVG antivirus and superantispyware. All tests this morning came BACK clean.Change your PASSWORD as soon as possible. It may eventually go away, but getting a new email is the better option.

And maybe remove your details from that site for the time being, just incase the hacker strikes again.

And just as a side note (although you probably know this already): delete the spam emails and don't follow any links or download any attachments.Thanks for your advice. Will get a new email address if they dont stop by the end of the week. Thanks again.As this issue appears to be resolved, I am closing this topic.
