Why are my twitter followers getting spam from me when I am not sending it? Please help!?

[juicycoutureforever]

My followers are getting sent weird direct messages and tweets from my twitter but I'm not sending the spam to them. A lot of my followers are getting pissed at me for sending it, and it's embarrassing and annoying! How do I make the spam stop from being sent to all my followers?
Thanks so much!
I forgot to add that it's a protected account!

Its probably some type of virus or keylogger who got ahold of your account. Hay i have a question for you:

If a person views an account thats not private yet they dont have a twitter account themselves...can the person whose account they view see whose checking out their twitter. Like is there some secret application or software that allows people to see that?

Hmm, you might have a hacker, but that is highly unlikely. Try looking at your settings, maybe you accidentally have it put as "Send to followers".
I'm sorry I can't help much on this one, but try that, and if you really are concerned, you can make a new account as a last resort.

Sounds like you have a virus, or someone is hacking you. The virus is more likely.

Sounds like a virus or melware. Download and install a free program called Melwarebytes. Run it on your computer (update Melwarebytes right after installation and run FULL scan. Keep in mind Full scan can take several hours! )
