Receiving hundreds of "delivery failure" notices

It started yesterday, but ever since then, I have received over 300 "delivery failure" notices to my verizon.net account. It's obvious I have been hacked but now what can be done to fix it? It is very annoying. I have not opened any of them, I just delete.

Change your password and secret question/answer to something strong and complex, and tuna virus scan on every computer you check your email from.

i think tuna virus scan is a mispell or an auto correct that went haywire. I decipher it as run a virus scan

run a = tuna r and the t are close on the keyboard etc.

Try Trend Micro's Free online tools and double check all of your stuff. I recommend doing housecall and also the rootkitbuster at the bottom of the page.

verizon also offers a free scan as well (3 tries) at www.verizon.com/freetools

aaaaaaa, I'll bet you're right...I thought tuna was some brand spanky new web based client I hadn't heard of...did a search and got nuthin 😉 ... funny i didn't think the specll check was that sophisticated in here...unless somegirl is pulling this stuff thru a reader I suppose...anyway, thanks for the enlightenment and chuckle...tks...RK

Hubrisnxs guessed it in 1! I was rushing and didn't proofread. My bad.
