What a nuisance!
It started on Saturday when I found that my Macbook was disconnected from the net. On the dropdown menu of available networks was one I didn't recognise, and my network wasn't there. It appeared again a little later and automatically connected.
A few hours later I backed up the Mac to an external hard drive. The back up took hours to complete, far far longer than usual.
I continued to work but everything was very slow.
I then emptied the trash, to find there were, I think, 23,000 items. Hmmm, rather more than I expected.
I then continued sending out emails. All of those sent to addresses ending in NHS.uk and ac.uk were all blocked and I received a message informing me that my ip address was recognised as being used for Spam, along with a link which included this
mail-abuse.com
when I click on the link (which also contains my ip address) i get a questionnaire asking me questions to which I do not know the answers.
The above points may, or may not, be linked.
Help! What is going on? What should I do now?
