Hello everyone,


I am using Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 x64. Today an appointment reminder popped up from the Calendar to "learn girl secrets" from someone calling herself Sawyer Dodson.

Can someone tell me how that got on the Calendar? Has my machine been compromised? Is my AV insufficient? Something else I should know?

I absolutely do not click on stuff that I did not directly solicit - emails with that sort of thing are deleted and not viewed.


Thanks!!!

Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but when a suspicious message appears in my inbox, I select it (without opening) and press Shift + Delete. This key combination permanently deletes the message.

Yes, my paranoia is behind the original post. I know to delete without opening; I'm more concerned about HOW it got on my Calendar in the first place.

I do not click on ANY link which is not something I solicited, like from my Insurance Company, or my employer. So it did not happen that way.

Again, is my machine infected with something? Is it compromised in some way?

This wasn't just a 'suspicious' message...it was an appointment in my Calendar, which got in there without any interaction from me.
