Dear Mrs West,
 
You have received this email as one or more of your Virgin Media mailboxes has recently been locked due to suspicious activity being detected.
 
It is important that you:
 
a. Do a full virus scan on your device with up-to-date anti-virus software
b. Reset your password to something new, unique to this account and secure.
 
After resetting your password, your mailbox will automatically be unlocked after 15 minutes.
 
Please ensure that the above points have been completed to prevent your mailbox from being locked again.

Hi BMWCHUBB, 

Thanks for coming back to us and updating the thread. 

If you've been able to see the mail from our security team then it sounds as though you're not able to access your mails again. 

If this isn't the case and you're still having an issue, please follow the advice in the thread Graham_A posted earlier. Once you have reset your password to something unique that you've never used before, wait 1 hour before trying to log in. After the hour has passed, the mailbox should be unlocked. 

If you're unable to reset the password, or the email address is no longer associated with an active broadband account, let us know so we can help further. 

Keep us posted. 

Thanks,
