I noticed I am getting spam from my own e-mail address, I changed the password on the e-mail account and I'm still receiving spam, first how are they sending stuff from my e-mail, second, how do I stop it? It's a yahoo account

You are being given spoofed. Someone has compromised your account.

Check the email header. That should give you an ip address.

You might be infected with malware, I'm sure you are.

Also...Yahoo is far and away the worst, most unsecure email you can use.

AOL or Gmail is where its at. AOL can be set so that you can control who can email you down to individual addresses. But Gmail is king. I get spam but Gmail is so good at recognizing it, its always sent into a spam folder that I never even see it. It auto deletes every 30 days.
