My apppears to hotmail account to send a virus - help

I just bought a new computer because my old one sent emails I do not sanction to everyone on my contact lists. now, it seems to be from my hotmail account - what do I have to cancel my account to prevent this?

Hello shelagh29,

No, you will not have to cancel your account. On Messenger spammers collect information from different sources of spam with you with the request.

Here are ways to slow down (and possibly eliminate) in total.

1. go to http://account.live.com

2. sign in with your Hotmail / MSN / Live email address and password (which is identical to your identifying e-mail)
3. in the left sidebar, click Profile Details.

4. on the next page, click change your shared profile.
5. click on the link next to shared with.
6. uncheck the box next to everyone (Public). This will help you keep your sharing account ID.
7. click on the "Save" button

NOTE: also, make sure that you change the password for your Hotmail account.

Also suggest to run a Malware scan on your computer:
