    Suddenly Getting Massive Amounts of Spam; Set to Exclusive


    HI, I've searched this and found lots of old responses relating to general inbox maintenance, but my issue came on so acutely that I'm certain something specific has happened. Starting about 48 hours ago, my Outlook email has begun getting absolutely inundated by spam. This is an email that I very rarely use for anything, and have set to only accept emails from people on my "safe senders" list. But not i'm getting well over 50 a day for the past couple/few days. I haven't used that email to sign up for anything in that time, so not sure what triggered this. I also don't know enough to understand how they get through when not on my safe list? It's a weird collection of spams too, no consistent theme at all, and many but not all come across as "no sender," whatever that means.

    Any thoughts on what happened, and/or what i can to do stop them? As it is i think I need to shut that mailbox down, it's insane!


    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Unable to Remove Exclusions from Windows Defender

    Thank you for posting back. If you trust a file, file type, folder, or a process that Windows Defender Antivirus has detected as malicious, you can stop Windows Defender Antivirus from alerting you or blocking the program by adding the file to
    the exclusion list. It seems that it was added automatically. We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings and select Update & security.
    • Click Windows Defender.
    • Look for Exclusions and select Add an exclusion.
    • Navigate to the file, folder, or process, and select Exclude this file.

    If the steps provided did not work, we recommend that you boot your device to
    Safe Mode
    and redo the process.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Spam Emails for pop3

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.


    • Which email address is configured in the Mail app?

    If you have Outlook.com configured then you may refer to the suggestions provided by “Dhenz S” from this thread to check if that helps.

    How to block spam emails in Outlook.com?

    You need to look at the “View installed Updates” screen to see the list of recently installed updates.

    Follow these steps to view installed updates:


    • Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Programs and Features”.

    • Click on “View Installed Updates”.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
