My Live Mail contacts suddenly increased with 278 Qs (the letter Q 278 times) added. I cannot delete them and they also show up a few in each of my contact groups. How do I get rid of them? As I said the delete does not work on them. I suspect they arrived in an infected email.

HELP

OK, well first of all.....
Which email service are you using with Windows Live Mail.
@outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com and @msn.com
OR some other provider
@yahoo.com, @gmail.com, etc., etc.

Using Cox.net which was hit with a fishing problem and all had to reset passwords. But that did not solve this problem with LiveMail or with the contact list.

I have no problem getting to the contact list - it just will not let me delete these unwanted Q letters. The delete is grayed out on those. That means that the many contact groups I have also have those letters in the lists which I can delete from the email address line, but not from the contact lists.

I can get to myconnection.cox.com and sign in but there is no way there to view my contacts.

Hmmmm.
Every web based email server I use or have used, have had some type of address book, contact list, or people app that provides a means of sending email to a specific contact while in that interface.

I received a suggestion from Syed Abdul Jabbar. which seemed to work (and I don't see his message here.). It told me to turn off the sign in and that did indeed get rid of the Q letters. However he then told me to turn sign in back on and when I did that the Qs were all back. So it is the web browser account that has the problem.

i have the same issue. I did notice echo123 is now in my contacts under "social networks" and it has several Q's. i keep trying to create different "categories" but the Q eventually shows up in them. The echo is a Skype feature but i am not on Skype. it has something to do with Windows 10 i assume. I just hope the Q is not a virus as i have sent a few emails with it in my group mailing. Hope someone has the fix.
