Infected by a virus that automatically sends to all Hotmail contacts list

I seem to have gotten infected with a virus that will address to my contacts list hotmail together with false advertising. However when I connect to hotmail from another computer not infected at a different location, the spamming of my hotmail contacts re - occurred which seems to suggest the virus got on the hotmail server. Everyone knows this. I ran AVG etc. on the original computer, but no virus found.

Hello

Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.

=============================================

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.
