I was surfing the internet yesterday until a site pop up asking me to chat and join them I simply closed it
as I do with many pop ups
but I have messages from the chating site +20 messages and keeps raising and sent at one time and second
and some of them deleted itself (or someone did)
and I found myself a member in it with my real e-mail address without my permission
I keep getting messages from it all day and some of them deleted (as someone deletes it not me)
what is this called SPAM?
How did this register me without my permission
How did it know my e-mail and How did my e-mail get there
How to get rid of these messages
Please any help brothers

I was surfing the internet yesterday until a site pop up asking me to chat and join them I simply closed it
as I do with many pop ups
Simply closed it does not work all the time. Some pop ups are really deceiving and by closing it, is the same as answer YES.
A better way to do it is when you see a pop up, don't answer Yes or NO or closing it. Open Task Manager and kill the browser.

The only way to delete it completely is to contact the site that they registered your email address at, and tell them what happened and that you want the account deleted.

Afterwards, go to your email provider and close the email account, then create a completely new one to use instead.

How to protect my pc against this attack again

Good to hear.

About all you can do is run an AV program, don't visit questionable sites, don't click on links from unknown/untrusted sources, use strong passwords, change your passwords every so often, etc...
