Unfortunately, it would seem that Evelyn *did* install something or she
would not be sending emails to people on her contact list. Evelyn - you
should now change your email account password and scan for malware. You
can follow these general malware removal steps:

If the procedures look too complicated - and there is no shame in
admitting that this isn't your cup of tea - take your machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA) and have them clean it up for you.
