Windows 10: I need to remove an email address listed in "Email and Accounts" in the Settings.

I had a local admin account on this pc. Somehow my son's account has been attached to my admin account. In settings under "My Info" it showed his email address.

I was able to get that removed, I believe I had to delete it from the registry. I am again listed as a local account. However his email address is still listed under the "Email and Accounts" and it is apparently the primary email. There are other apps that are reading it as primary no matter how many times I sign out of them.


I have another email listed on the same screen but it won't allow me to make it primary. How can I remove the other Microsoft email address?



Thank you.

:)

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

Embarrassingly, everyone on my email list received spam originating from my account, which is Yahoo based. A scan with MSE found two trojans, a Java/Rowindal.A and a Downloader:Java/OpenStream.W.

Are these the source of my unwanted email traffic? Would someone opening this email be infected with the same problems? Could there be more dangerous underlying threats.

Hell, I have quite a few high dollar clients in my list. I always treat people's addresses like they were unlisted numbers, and don't send frivolous "Hey how are ya" junk. This is mortifying.*Eek!
