Recently, I have been getting emails from forums & websites saying "welcome :blah: :blah: :blah:"
I just ignore it and treat it as SPAM. It's been going on for several days. The sites that welcome me by "Diegoboy" not by my name, have been getting 18+ lately. I realized that someone is registering on sites with my email address. I haven't had time to give it much thought, I was just looking for some ideas anyone may have.

Thanks!

I would contact the web site owner or adminstrator and have your membership removed with an explanation. Since someone is using your personal email account things could go from bad to worse soon. Some jerk wad is doing this intentionaly to you.

I use a special account for all forum registrations. When I start getting spam from that account I just dump it, make a new one up and change it in my forum settings. My ISP allows up to 10 email names per account. Makes it easy to do.

I think your pc has been hacked with malware/spyware. Time to get it scanned and cleaned up.

yes, sounds like spyware?
